Informal assessment by me as the class develops week by week.Class Experience
This class is perfect for learners that are interested in beginning the piano. This class starts out with the basics like how to find the different notes on the piano, hand positions, scales and chords, etc. In this intro class, we will also work on a few songs during this class as well. For this class, it will be helpful if a student has a piano or keyboard, as well as a camera/phone that is angled towards the piano keys, so that I am able to see the students fingers playing on the piano/keyboard. For anyone who would like to continue lessons with me after this class, I will be happy to coordinate a time for the learner to continue with me.
