These are 1-on-1 piano lessons that will run weekly for beginners, classes will be designed specifically for the student based on age, level, needs, and interests. Lessons will include: - learning to read music - using fun games, drawings and activities we focus on HOW to read music, not just naming notes - reading rhythm, how long to hold a note and why - using a well-known curriculum book leaning to play right hand and left hand notes - learning songs early on - I add in theory and will send sheets for students to work on if they choose - I add in music history, small facts and stories about our songs and music - playing duets together - piano and theory games depending on age - songs students are interested in when they are ready - scales and other warmups - ear training If a parent/guardian or student has specific requests please contact me anytime to discuss.
