Hello, thank you for taking a peek at my specialized 8-week piano lesson session for 5 - 8-year-olds.   I have taught private piano for ages 3 - adult as well as group lessons for over 30 years for all levels!  My teaching style is fun and engaging.  I like to present learning the notes and symbols of music in a way that is easy to remember.  Rhythm is taught so it is internalized so it will come naturally to the learner.  This lesson is perfect for the early beginner and will set your child up for success in music!   

Any piano or keyboard will work (no matter what size)!  I have had early beginners start on a toy piano and bloom into top musicians! No books are needed at first.  I will send a song to print or view on your device each week for your child to practice, along with a few music games to play.   

Scope & Sequence:
Week 1:  Learn patterns on the piano, Find all C notes on the piano, Musical alphabet, 
               Eighth notes vs. Quarter notes
               Rhythm Cards:  Children love playing different rhythms on middle C with these 
               cards. 
Week 2:  Review all week 1 items to build confidence and solidify concepts, read middle C 
                note, proper hand position
