🎵🎵 ABOUT LESSONS 🎵🎵 Learners will explore the world of playing piano from Carol Matz's Interactive Piano Method. There is a lesson book with corresponding online materials for the learner to use. This is a private lesson with one on one instruction. Learners constantly interact with the teacher. No experience is needed to take a course. It is desired to have a piano but it is perfectly okay to also use a keyboard. We will use piano pieces, games, and activities to reinforce concepts throughout. We will use Book Level 1 A ● Unit 1: Steady Beats, Quarter Notes, and Explore Black Key Groups ● Unit 2: Bar Lines and Measure, Half Notes, Dynamics, and Whole Notes ● Unit 3: Time Signature, Damper Pedal, notes C, D, and E on the piano. ● Unit 4: Quarter Rests, G, A, F, and B ● Unit 5: Steps, Dotted Half notes, MP Dynamics, Half Rest ● Unit 6: Staff Lines, Clefs, and the Grand Staff, Middle C on the Staff and the Whole Rest, Treble G on the Staff, Tempo and Tempo Markings, Bass F on the Staff 🎵🎵 WHY MS. CHERYL? 🎵🎵 My name is Cheryl Dubberly and my mission is to teach private piano lessons to children. I can light up your child's world. Is your child interested in piano lessons? Would you like to see your child shine in the light of music? It would be my honor to provide them with that. Music is so powerful and children just getting started deserve to have great beginnings and I can be your person. I love teaching other cultures and also in different time zones. My mission is to teach in a kind and compassionate way and holding space for all children that want to learn. 🎵🎵 CANCELLATION POLICY 🎵🎵 This class is set-up as an ongoing class. Please think of that as a standing appointment you're setting up with me and your learner. You'll be charged every Sunday by Outschool unless you've told me in advance that you cannot meet that week. I cannot provide make-up lessons to students for no shows unless you message me 24 hours in advance. In the event that you message me 24 hours in advance, I allow two makeup lessons per quarter. Quarters are as follows: - January 1st through March 31st - April 1st through June 30th - July 1st through September 30th - October 1st through December 31st I cannot provide makeup time for students arriving late to class. Outschool policy states that teachers are not required to wait longer than 10 minutes past the scheduled starting time. Lessons canceled with under 24 hours' notice can be refunded by request of the child's guardian due to illness or family emergency only. In the event of either, please request a refund for that class when you notify me of the emergency. Refunds cannot be honored after the week of the missed class.
