Piano for Beginners "Understanding the Piano" is a series of 1-on-1 Ongoing Piano Lessons, where we work on learning to play the piano and developing skills in piano technique, sight reading, and ear training by working through a progressing set of pieces and exercises. In each lesson, the student is introduced to new material and concepts, which they practice during the week and return the following week to demonstrate and discuss what they've learned during their weekly practice and work on any suggested changes. After completing this first piano book, students can progress through additional grades if desired. More advanced students may even be able to prepare for The Royal Conservatory of Music exams if they want. Students with previous piano experience should contact me before enrolling to ensure we have materials appropriate for their skill level and continuing studies.

Lessons are structured around the individual student in a relaxed, fun, flexible, engaging, patient, and encouraging way, focusing on their interests and strengths to help them develop piano proficiency while feeling happy and proud of their accomplishments. 

Each student receives a virtual student binder in a PDF format as a record of the student's homework and assignments throughout their studies. An updated PDF of the student's binder gets sent after each lesson by the close of the day.

Because these lessons are for beginners, no experience is required other than a desire to play the piano and learn music concepts. Parents may need to assist younger children during their weekly practice depending on their child's age and abilities.
