Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
Private piano lessons are a series of 1-on-1 ongoing piano lessons, where we work on learning to play the Piano and developing skills in piano technique, sight reading, and ear training by working through a progressing set of pieces and exercises. In each lesson, the student is introduced to new material and concepts, which they practice during the week and return the following week to demonstrate and discuss what they've learned during their weekly practice and work on any suggested changes. After completing their piano book or level, students can progress through additional grades if desired. More advanced students may even be able to prepare for The Royal Conservatory of Music exams if they want. Students should contact me before enrolling to ensure we have materials appropriate for their skill level and continuing studies.

Lessons are structured around the individual student in a relaxed, fun, flexible, engaging, patient, and encouraging way, focusing on their interests and strengths to help them develop piano proficiency while feeling happy and proud of their accomplishments. 

Each student receives a virtual student binder in a PDF format as a record of the student's homework and assignments throughout their studies. An updated PDF of the student's binder gets sent after each lesson by the close of the day.

These weekly ongoing piano lessons are for all students ages seven and up; regardless of whether you are new to piano lessons or have taken them in the past, all that is required is a desire to play the Piano and learn music concepts. Parents may need to assist younger children during their weekly practice, depending on their child's age and abilities.

During lessons students will work on the following topics:
1. Finger Exercise
2. Sight Reading
3. Ear Training
4. Repertoire

Other Details
