Class Experience

Welcome to my course of Private Piano Lessons. In this course I will offer a private lesson meeting your child at their current Piano Playing level. This course is a thorough overview of how to play the piano and read music. Students will become proficient performers as well as skilled musicians understanding music theory terminology. I will cover all elements of music theory including ear training, rhythm, and how to love the music! 

I use the Carol Matz method books through these virtual lessons. However, I am familiar with the Fabre, Bastien, Thompson, and Alfred methods books as well. If you have already invested in one of these method books, I will gladly begin teaching from your student's current book. 

I chose the Carol Matz method because it is the easiest method to use while in a virtual setting. These method books have online quizzes, games, activities, and fun facts that correspond with each specific lesson. This allows the students to learn music through multiple outlets all in one setting. I integrate multiple ways of study to ensure the students do not get bored of the routine instruction then practice, instruction then practice. Utilizing the online tools also helps students feel like they are in more control of their learning processes. 

My courses will cover every detail beginning with how to sit at the piano, up to the advanced levels of performing in Piano Competitions.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the basics of Piano playing that include these key elements:

-Proper hand and sitting positions
-Finger numbers
-Reading the staff in both the Treble and Bass Cleff
-Playing, Counting, and Reading simple to complex rhythms 
-Sight reading 
-Major and Minor Keys
-Learning Jazz, Contemporary, and Classical piano pieces
-Learning the students specific favorites from movies, musicals, or games

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is suggested for young students who may need help placing their hands on the correct key.
Supply List
We will be using the course material created by Carol Matz. This is an online library of Method Books, Games, and Quizzes. There are multiple levels to choose from. I will instruct the student to purchase a specific level after our first lesson when I have assessed where the student is comfortable playing. Reminder: if the student has already had piano lessons, I will continue the lessons where the student left off.
