Piano Ear Training, Composition, and Technique for Beginners

Students review names of piano keys, finger numbers, rhythm and interval patterns to create beautiful melodies and basic but full-sounding chord progressions. A piano or keyboard size of 61 keys or more is recommended. Students can choose to perform their compositions throughout the course for their classmates.

This class is a fun start to ear training so we won’t have time to explore note reading or be perfect recognizing intervals or chords at all times. This is more of a crash course for students to explore sounds! Some technical terms may be used without pressure to be memorized. Please signup for an ongoing private class through me or another teacher for music literacy and further study :)  Keep in mind students will be all levels of "beginner" (early/mid/late). No teacher or student emphasizes the same things even if students are the same age and have played the same amount of years. All students will be in different areas of their piano study and will learn from each other. In other words, it's a masterclass setting!
