Homework
2-4 hours per week. Each week, the student will be responsible for practicing about 30-45 minutes a day. I will assign a different scale to work on per week, as well assign different chords and arpeggios to work on. There will also be assignments each week in the books we will be using.Class Experience
In these lessons we will learn how to play the piano. We will start with a review of what was taught in the introduction to piano classes, and then continue our journey as we learn more complex scales and notes. We will go over how to read music. These lessons will be one on one style with one student per class, so that I can teach at whatever pace suits the learner. We will review the basics of how to sit at the piano, hand positioning, finger numbers, and learn a few songs. We will then move on to accidentals, different types of notes, scales, different chords in the scale, arpeggios, and we will learn different songs to work on throughout the week. I will also listen to any songs the learner can play, and offer any advice I can give on technique, and give pointers on how to improve their playing. We will be using the Faber Piano Adventures books. Material used in this course is composed, arranged, and written by Nancy and Randall Faber. Copyright © Faber Piano Adventures, Inc.
