1-2 hours per week. Students will be expected to practice 4-5 days for 30 minutes per day between each lesson.Assessment
Student progress on the assigned repertoire is assessed at the beginning of each subsequent lesson and communicated to the parent.Class Experience
Designed for beginners up to students with four years of piano experience, this class will teach concepts including, but not limited to, navigating the keyboard, beginning and intermediate rhythmic patterns, note identification focusing on pitches above and below the grand staff, beginning and intermediate musical symbols, and musicianship. Students will develop these skills while playing repertoire that will be assigned after an initial consultation. While learning these music specific concepts, students will be developing general skills including active listening, critical thinking, fine-motor skills, and self-discipline. Since this is a one-on-one class, the lessons will be tailored to each individual student's learning style, in a relaxed, fun teaching environment. The number of pieces, and the pace at which we work on them, will be determined by what is best for the individual student. Regular practice on a keyboard or piano in the student's home is required between each weekly lesson.
Learning Goals
Students will learn intermediate rhythmic patterns, note identification focusing on pitches above and below the grand staff, intermediate musical symbols, and musicianship.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional pianist based in southwest Ohio. An active performer and educator, my wife and I operate our own music studio in her hometown where we teach students from birth (yes, really!) to adult. Additionally, I'm a church organist and the host of a weekly classical music radio program. Through Outschool I teach individual and group piano classes for students of all ages, as well as music theory and history.
I received my Master of Music degree in piano performance from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and my Bachelor of the Arts degree in music from Allegheny College, where I graduated magna cum laude. I am the recipient of the Edith Mead Osbourne Memorial Prize for distinguished pianism, the Frederick Marantz Memorial Prize in recognition of marked talent with the piano, and the Mary Elizabeth King Brown Teaching Excellence Award. I believe that everyone is inherently musical, and that with the right education, everyone can express, understand, and enjoy their own musicality.Reviews
