Primer Part 1: Beginner Piano Course (Practice Videos + Kahoot! Included)

W   E  L   C  O   M   E

Each week, over 150 students come to see me in this beautiful virtual world! 🎵

Every class, I help them understand concepts and have fun! Kids truly love learning, and I make the entire experience easy and pleasant for parents.

🅼🆈 🅶🅾🅰🅻:

My goal is to by making piano playing easy and to help students have fun and see music as a game. 

My experience over the past fourteen years, both in the classroom and studio, has shown me that the best way to motivate someone is to make the learning process feel 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺.

This has been the key to unlocking the potential that my students didn’t even know they had! 

The majority of my students move through their books at a faster rate than the “average” time that the publisher suggests it should take – and I believe it is directly connected to the exploratory and creative environment I create in my lessons.

It’s very exciting and motivating for new students to see how quickly they can learn music!

❗️🅸🅼🅿🅾🆁🆃🅰🅽🆃 ❗️

🙏🏽 I do ask that parents prepare to sit with our young learners (8 and under) for the first 2-3 lessons to ensure your child has the best possible start to their classes - as well as avoid any issues with technology in using Zoom or their keyboards + pianos.

📹 Practice videos will be available in the classroom each week for students' review of the material as well as full class recordings for missed classes. 

🎓 For our final meeting, Class 8, we have a 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 as well as an 𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 where the students work as a team to use what they've learned to crack the codes! You are welcome to join in off camera to celebrate our learners. 

We will cover the basics: 
- Posture
- Hand Position
- Notes on the piano
- Rhythm
- Music Vocabulary
- Reading basic music

𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦:
The course is structured around the concept that children learn music through immersion! 

Your child will be given the opportunity to hear me play to model how their pieces go.

We will then discuss the songs as they use "visual analysis" in understanding what is happening in the music. 
This allows the student to build their listening skills (ear training), sight-reading (reading music), and creativity (applying musical knowledge to their piece!) 

★ＢＯＮＵＳＥＳ★
