Class Experience

This class includes introduction to playing piano/keyboard such as how to sit at the piano, finger numbers, piano tones, and the keyboard. We will discuss right hand- and left-hand position, starting with the C position. We will discuss basic theory such as grand staff, time signature, rhythm, and repeat signs. Students will learn 5-finger warm-ups and basic chord structure. There will be an introduction to scales as well as broken and solid chords. I teach through the methods of Faber Piano Adventures and RCM; no books necessary, but sometimes helpful. Students will have an understanding of where middle C is on the piano as well as note recognition. Beginner students will learn how to play nursery rhymes and simple melodies from any beginner sheet music or books. Intermediate students will continue to develop their skills while adapting new methods for improved technique. I like to keep my classes lighthearted. If there are any songs the student wishes to learn, we will have fun learning them. I look forward to making music with your child.

Hello,
 My name is Steven Collett and I look forward to making music with you. Whether you or your child are a beginner or have a few years under your belt, I can guide you to the next level from the comfort of your own home. I am an experienced Singer and multi-instrumentalist on Piano, Ukulele,  Guitar, Bass, and Trumpet. I guess you can say music feeds my soul!
  
If you're looking for a supportive music teacher, I'd be happy to help you reach your goals. No time like the present, let's get started!
  
I am offering lessons in the following category's.
                                     
                                    PIANO-GUITAR
                                   UKULELE-BASS-TRUMPET

 If you don't see a time that works for you then request a time and I would be happy to work something out.

   I played 5 years in the Hamilton All-Star Jazz Band performing at the IJEA in New York City with Adrean Farrugia and Diana Panton. After graduating from the Applied Music Program, I went on to study Jazz Performance at the University of Toronto studying with Phil Nimmons, Mike Malone, Brian Dickinson, and Kirk MacDonald. I performed on cruise ships for 3 years, playing piano in the Jazz Trio all over North America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Alaska.

 I divide my time between teaching in person  and privately, plus performing Rock, Pop, Jazz & Blues at many venues across the greater Toronto and Hamilton area. I continue to enjoy teaching my students through online platforms such as Outschool.
 Thank you and I hope to see you in a class soon.
