In this multi-day class, students will continue their preparation for private piano lessons. The parent will see how well their child can do with a weekly lesson and gauge the maturity level and readiness to start the process.
In these classes students will continue to learn some of the basics of music: steady beat, basic note values, sitting position at the piano, fingering,
auditory awareness of pitches, etc.
My teaching style is very interactive and the students will get feedback during each class. I will have them try again when they don't do things right the first few times.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Mississippi State University
I have taught children preschool through high school for over 25 years. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education with an emphasis in voice, and have played piano since I was 9 years old. I enjoyed accompanying many of my fellow Music majors for their juries (finals) in college. Knowing the basics gives children the confidence to pursue their favorite instrument and that's an amazing gift. I am patient and encouraging and love to engage with my students in a very positive way. I look forward to teaching your child.Reviews
