1 live meeting
25 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. In order to progress on the piano and be successful, learners will need to play their piano each day (practice time per day will depend on their level) for 5-30 minutes a day, five days a week. When younger beginners are first starting out, they will make progress in the first few weeks by simply playing their songs once per day. As they learn more, they will be playing more. I will always be doing the very best I can to help each student to ENJOY playing and practicing the piano each day!Class Experience
This one-on-one piano lesson is a fun, weekly ongoing class for ages 6-18. Mrs. Robyn has extensive experience with piano students and has a very upbeat and enthusiastic teaching style that inspires students and helps them enjoy their lessons. Each student will need: - a piano or keyboard - to purchase the songbook recommendation from the link Mrs. Robyn will send after the first few lessons of assessing your child. - IMPORTANT: Please set up your camera to provide a side view of the student, so that I can see the student's hands, piano, and side of the face. A tablet or laptop is preferred, but I also have students who use phone cameras. For the first month, PDFs created by Mrs. Robyn will be provided for you ahead of time. I will provide guidance on which book to purchase after assessing the student's level during the first several classes. Supplemental music and PDFs created by me will also be provided from time to time as needed. Depending on each student's individual needs, we will be choosing from Piano Pronto, Faber, Supersonics, and Wunderkeys books. Every student is unique! See the learner goals below for more details about the focus of our piano lessons. PHILOSOPHY ❤️ I am a Christian who considers it an honor and a privilege to teach, inspire, and motivate students toward a lifelong love of learning! The years of childhood and youth are brief and every opportunity should be used to inspire them toward reaching their potential for goodness and making an impact in the world. A solid and fun education during the early years provides the foundation for a life of well-being for all students from all backgrounds. NOTE: If you would like to request a certain time that is not currently listed, please feel free to reach out to me, and let's see what we can do! Missed Lesson Policy: Since I am holding the time especially for your learner, refunds cannot be given for missed lessons that are no-shows. When a 24-hour notice is given, I am happy to provide a make-up session for a missed lesson. Except in the case of an emergency, there will not be make-up lessons for no-shows. Thanks for your cooperation in this!
