1-2 hours per week. Practicing itself depends on the individual student, their skill level, and their personal goals. Each student is expected to practice at home between lessons, and after each lesson each student is given instructions on what to practice, and how often. This could be a time limit, such as “practice this piece for a total of 10 minutes a day,” or a number of repetitions, such as “play this rhythm exercise at least 5 times this week.” Again, everything is tailored to the specific individual.Class Experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
Learn the piano through joyful, intentional, musical, and structured one-on-one lessons. This class listing is designed to meet students where they are, whether they are brand new to the piano, have some knowledge, or have been taking lessons for years. My teaching philosophy is that very child should get the opportunity to learn and grow in music. While not every student will become professional musicians in their lifetime, they all can benefit from the joyful and meaningful lessons that come with learning a new skill, working toward their goals, and making music come to life. As for my teaching style, I am very student-centered. It is hard not to be in the music room!
Other Details
Learning Needs
I have experience teaching piano to student with ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and other learning disabilities. If your student wants to learn I am confident that I can adapt to any needs they may have.
Supply List
Learners will eventually need their own music books, however, I like to get to know the learner and their personal goals before settling on which methodology to use. At the minimum, students are required to have a 72-key electric keyboard (with the expectation that they will eventually need an 88-key keyboard). An electric keyboard should have weighted-keys. Acoustic pianos of course are always acceptable, however, I understand they are costly.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
