Class Experience

***All students must have completed Learn to Play Piano for Young Beginners first or have permission from the instructor.

Students will continue to learn:
-to recognize the keys on the piano and their names.
-finger numbers and how they relate to the position on the piano.
-melodic contour
-learning songs by rote and by reading
-learn the value of practice and extension at home
-basic rhythms and how to play and clap them
-proper piano position and posture
-reading notes on the staff

Students will meet weekly for 30 minutes. Part of the class will focus on keyboard skills and the rest of the class with focus on theory and reading music. Homework and practice will be assigned each week.

All students will require a keyboard or piano to practice at home. Regular weekly practice will be required in order to improve as with any instrument instruction. 

The teacher, Michelle, will be using the principles in the Royal Conservatory of Music piano teacher certification program to help students begin their piano learning with proper technique and knowledge to continue into the RCM exam program if they so choose. 


All students will be required to have the Faber First Piano Adventures Book B Lesson book and Theory book (blue covers).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Master's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from University of Regina
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from University of Regina
Michelle Wheeler grew up with a passion for music in any form. With the encouragement of her band teachers she flourished as a flautist and continued on after high school to complete her Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Regina. In her desire to continue her education she studied flute with Marie-Noelle Berthelet at the University of Regina to complete her Masters of Music Performance. She has trained in Music for Young Children, Kindermusik, and is working towards Level 1 certification in KinderFlute and Blocki Flute methods. 

Currently Michelle is an active learner and is enjoying working with a community of piano teachers and professors to learn and share strategies for teaching piano to beginners. Michelle will complete her certification through the Royal Conservatory of Music as an elementary piano specialist in December. The basis of this intensive course is to work with top piano pedagogues and learn techniques and strategies to make her students well rounded and successful. Though already an accomplished piano and flute teacher in her own right, Michelle is always wanting to learn more and share ideas with others to give students the best possible experience.

Michelle has worked as the program coordinator for the Heart of the City Piano Program, secretary for Saskatchewan Angel Dresses, and board member for the Regina Eastview Daycare. She speaks French and English and enjoys enhancing her music classes with the French language as well as sign language. She loves going for walks, swimming, and spending time with her three children Roch, Adelle, and Lilah.
