Class experience
This on-going class is part of an introduction to piano lessons for beginners. If you have attended the pre-requisite listed below, join at any time. We will review at least one song from "Piano Primer I - A" at the start of every class, then learn one new song. Practice between classes is highly recommended. Access to a keyboard/piano and view of the screen while playing is required to participate during class time. Please contact me if you are unsure if this is the right level class for...
Students will... * learn to identify groups of 2 and 3 black keys on the keyboard. * recognize high and low sounds on the keyboard. * identify their fingers by standard finger numbers. * clap and play to standard rhythm notation with quarter, half, dotted half, and whole notes. * be able to *easily* sight-read and perform songs using rhythm notation and finger numbers.
I teach classes on a variety of arts-related subjects:
* piano, sight-reading, song-writing;
* realistic drawing techniques;
* comic book creations & anime drawing styles;
* digital arts, Photoshop, graphic design.

As a teacher with over twenty years of experience, I have been running my own piano studio full-time for the last decade. I started learning music in piano lessons when I was four years old and am currently teaching my 15th academic year as a piano teacher. I also am a former public school art teacher, university adjunct professor, swim instructor, dance teacher, and math tutor.Homework Offered
