Students will receive guidance for building a productive piano learning portfolio.  In addition to learning how to read music, music theory and musical scales, students may also be encouraged to explore about chord progression, improvisation, and more!.  General goals will apply to beginner level students.  As the student progresses, goals will evolve around the student's learning styles and preferences.  For example, a student may decide to venture into different music genres, such as, classical or jazz.  Or perhaps the student is a Star Wars fan and wants explore playing theme songs. Another scenario might be that the student really enjoys improvising, and so, learning chord progressions and inversions is really the focus.  It could be any one of these or a combination. The list is endless, which is why each learner's musical journey will be unique.
