Class Experience

This class will be a hands-on, enjoyable experience learning the very basics of piano. It will be interactive, and each student will be given time to play and practice as we go through class. My teaching style for this age is very fun, happy, and encouraging to the students as they discover the joy of learning piano. I love to sing and play short songs and notes as we learn and grow together. Each student will be given one on one moments to practice the skills they are learning, receive encouragement, and play some of the songs we will learn together. By the end of the course each student will be able to read basic rhythm, understand the music alphabet and several music terms, and play well-known songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb, Old MacDonald, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 
Topics to cover each week:
Week 1 - Finger numbering, black vs white keys, left hand vs right hand, pitch, dynamics (loud and soft), quarter and half notes.
Week 2 - Bar lines and double bar lines, measures, whole notes, counting rhythm.
Week 3 - Music alphabet, dotted half notes.
Week 4 - Treble and Bass clef, staffs.
Please make sure to have a piano or keyboard ready to use during class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Mr. Alan! 

Since I first started banging on the piano as a toddler and singing at the top of my lungs, I have always loved music. The first chance I got, I started taking private piano lessons and continued those all the way to college. Anytime there was a chance in school to be involved in something musical, from marching band or jazz band, to theater and chorus, I wanted to be a part of it. 
It is my goal as a piano and music teacher to help each student find the same love of all things music that I have always had, and be able to enjoy and use their knowledge of music the rest of their life. 

I live in Tennessee with my beautiful wife, my fun and energetic 7 year old daughter, my crazy Halloween-loving 3 year old son, and my sweet and cuddly newborn son who all love to sing and have glowstick dance parties together. :)

I am thankful that you have considered me as a piano teacher for your child, and I can't wait to be their teacher!
