This class introduces music theory and technique through fun songs and games at the keyboard. We will include ear-training and eye-training as well.

My classes are interactive, empowering and student-centered.  To provide the best visual experience for learners, both an overhead view of the piano as well as a virtual midi keyboard to highlight the keys will be presented. Pages from Faber's book, alongside fun and engaging slides that can be annotated will be screen-shared with learners during class.

Each week I encourage learners to send weekly progress videos so I can provide individual feedback. 

If you have any questions regarding the class please feel free to reach out to me. 

I look forward to singing and playing with your learner!
