A weekly class where students learn basic piano playing skills in a fun, friendly atmosphere. Each week, we clap rhythms, practice recognizing left and right, naming the fingers, and play a new Wunderkeys Preschool Book 3 duet! #CREATIVE
Class experience
This ongoing class is part 3 of an introduction to piano lessons for very young beginners, using the Wunderkeys Preschool book 3. This book is NOT cumulative, but instead repeats the same structure while introducing a different "wunderbie," creative theme, and song in each chapter. This fits very well with the structure of on-going lessons, and students may join at any time with ease. The Wunderkeys Preschool curriculum focuses on piano-related skills for preschoolers, such as pattern...
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. * recognize quarter notes and half notes. * be able to read and play along with WunderKeys duets using finger number notation.
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

For the young learners in this class, a practice of 5 to 10 minutes daily with lots of parental help is recommended.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
