Class Experience

This is a learner-directed class meaning, it is a private lesson with one student at a time. 

Since this is a private lesson, a student coming to class as a new student if the one spot is open is not a problem. They should come with the Piano Adventures Lesson Book Primer Level if they can and if they don't want to purchase it or do not have it yet, the teacher will teach using song sheets and theory worksheets that can be sent in the classroom or in the message system on Outschool.
Builds on the previous  lesson. This is a PRIVATE, ONE-ON-ONE LESSON and the lesson will be adjusted to the student that shows up to make the lesson personalized for that one student.

Students will be taught how to hold and sit with their instrument.
About their instrument.
High/low sounds.
Rhythm and timing.
How to read music.
How to recognize other instruments and what "family" of instruments they belong to.
Teaching style is to find the good no matter how small in every single child's accomplishments.
The student will be interacting with the teacher, not just listening to the teacher. 
The teacher will assess the child's progress through hearing the child play their songs on their instrument and reviewing the music theory coloring worksheets.
Every single child will be told specifically what they did well during class. 
A happy balance of solid music education and fun is key.


I sometimes create Kahoot (an approved outside platform) quizzes to help the student learn in a fun way. There is no need for the parent to have an account, nor does the student ever log in without me.  


Each week the student will progress at their own pace. For students who practice often they will move more quickly through songs and theory work. For a 5 year old, recommended practice is about 5-10 minutes 3-4x a week, for 10 year olds, recommended practice is about 15-20 minutes 3 to 4 times a week, for older, recommended is 20-30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Practice means playing their homework song all the way through without stopping if a mistake is made. Sitting correctly. Not stopping for mistakes. Going back and working on the mistake area, then playing again all the way through. Separate just for fun time should be allotted to playing to make up songs, goof around and enjoy the instrument.
