I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Practice makes perfect”! I would encourage all learners to practice identifying the letters of the piano keys, doing your finger exercises and practicing the song we learned in class.Class Experience
“Piano 101” is a One Time Class for learners with no previous Piano instruction. We will learn the basic fundamentals of playing the piano and learners will get a feel of what piano lessons are like. Learners will also get an idea of what I’m like as a teacher to see if we will be a good fit for future classes. A Piano or Keyboard is very helpful to have, but Learners could still enjoy this class with a Piano App on a Tablet or even a toy Piano. Younger learners may need the assistance of an adult sitting next to them off camera. Learners should be able to write the numbers 1-5 and the letters A-G with little to no help. We will also learn how to identify the groups of 2 and 3 black keys as well as where to place their Right Hand on the White Keys. Here are some of the things this class will cover. - The basic skills of how to play the Piano - The letters of the White Piano keys - Test the strength of the muscles in your fingers - Learn how to play a simple song It is my hope, that after taking this class, learners will have an excitement to continue learning the Piano. I teach other Music Classes and Camps for Voice, Piano and the Recorder that I'm sure your learner would love as well! Visit my Profile Page or message me to learn more. **************************************************************************************************** TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CLASS 1. It will be helpful to see learners' faces and hands during the class. Have learners sitting at a table/desk or piano/keyboard and have your device able to capture them from the head to their lower ribcage. I will be able to offer learners feedback on the use of their hands/fingers this way during the lesson. 2. Please have all Materials ready and Handouts printed prior to starting class. This class is moderately paced to allow just the right amount of information and time to learn a song at the end! 3. At the beginning of our lesson, we will be using our Handouts and writing on them. Please make sure to have a space where this will be possible. 4. Younger learners WILL benefit from having an adult sitting next to them (off camera) for help. Learning the piano virtually is possible, but may need adult supervision to get started. 5. Ensure learners are in a quiet space or have earphones/buds to allow them to hear the teacher and stay engaged. 6. SUPER IMPORTANT!! Please check your Zoom Audio Settings. I may not be able to hear your learner’s piano, if your Audio is not set correctly. Make sure to have your Audio Set to “Original sound for musicians” or "Original Audio" turned ON and have "Background Suppression" turned OFF.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello Outschool Families! I’m a certified educator in the USA. I've been teaching on Outschool for several years now and have loved establishing relationships with learners and their families. I've been teaching the Piano for 17 years and teaching a variety of other Performing Arts subjects since graduating with my degree in Music Education in 2009.
Music has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I grew up in a musical family, sang in church and school, began piano lessons in first grade, was in several musicals, was in the band where I played the flute and piccolo, and lead music at my church on the worship team. I am passionate about students and education! I've included my credentials and experience below.
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION
- Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education
- State Certified Teacher
- Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Percussion
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
- Private Instruction for 17 years

CLASSES TAUGHT
I've taught a variety of subjects, but my favorite are Performing Arts Classes. I've taken my Choirs to perform at Disney World and have directed Musicals in Elementary Schools and Middle Schools including, Jungle Book Kids and Beauty and the Beast Junior. Below are just selection of classes I have experience teaching.
- Choir/Chorus (in person)

I believe it’s important to be a life long learner and that’s why Outschool is so awesome. This platform allows learners to hone in on a specific subject, learn more about what they’re interested in, or discover their talent in the fine arts developing students into well rounded individuals! My goal is that every learner and family leaves my class feeling their time was well spent!
I look forward to getting to know you and hope our time together will leave a lasting impact!
