1 hour per week. Playing through their pieces 15-20 minutes daily will ensure that they keep up with their class. - This is about 1-2 times through each piece Students will WANT to show off what they have learned! I only say - PLAY MORE MUSIC!Assessment
I will give verbal feedback to students during their daily class as well as following classes as needed. I will also message you individually as I want to keep you, as the parent or guardian, aware of how your child is doing in class. This is a team effort in being sure your child is getting the most out of their time in piano class.Class Experience

Parental Guidance
1. I must be able to see your child at the piano to assist them with the pieces. An example of the camera position will be posted in the "Classroom" before the first class begins.
2. Music: must either be Printed or used with "Faber Piano Adventures Primer Lesson Book" (link found in materials)
3. I do ask that parents stay close by our learners for the first 2-3 lessons to ensure your child has the best possible start to their classes - as well as avoid any issues with technology in using Zoom or their keyboards.
4. I will communicate with you through the conversation part of Outschool! I like to celebrate as well as keep parents + guardians aware of the happenings in class to ensure we can work together to provide the best experience possible for your child!
IMPORTANT: Students MUST have their camera on the entire time.
This is for:
1. The safety of all students.
2. For me to guide your child through their pieces best. Without being able to see them, it is not possible to assist them in playing to the best of their ability.
3. Please be sure that the camera has the student and piano in view. Again, this will allow for me to better help your child perform their best to correct any technique or questions accurately!
Also, parents I ask that you please sit with and observe your child for at least the first 4 weeks to help guide our young learners, that their camera's are set up properly, and so they are able to have you there to work out any issues that may arise.
