This is a one-time trial piano lesson where you can meet with me, Ms. Elizabeth, and see if I'm a good fit for private piano lessons for you and for your learner. 

** This class was designed for 1 student to take a private lesson, one time, as a trial. Once I see your enrollment, I will make the event "private" so no one else can join. If you loved our lesson, join me in the on-going version of this class, linked below.**

⭐New to Outschool? Message me before you enroll!!!⭐

No experience is need and beginners are welcome! In this first lesson, we will get to know each other and talk about what materials and type of instrument you will need. We will discuss the general philosophy and structure of my lessons, your learner's goals and interests, and strategize some ways to meet those goals. This way, we can make sure the student has the proper equipment and materials to get started.

***Note: If you don't see a time that suits you, please message me and request a time. Attend this TRIAL class only ONCE, and note it has a different cost than regular on-going weekly lessons. Thank you!***

Note: If you do not see a section that works for you, please contact me to see about scheduling a different time (subject to availability). Not all schedule requests can be accommodated.

SET UP
Please enable Original Sound setting (or Original Sound for Musicians) in your Zoom settings for all music classes!

For piano lessons, the video camera should be positioned to face the keyboard/piano keys to show the student's hands *and* face.  The side view of the keyboard is best.  Though not required, having a second device to place on the sheet music stand in front of the learner is also helpful if I need to screen-share music for new beginners.

At the first lesson, I may ask to see your seating arrangement. Often, young children need a booster seat and a footstool in order to play comfortably at an adult-sized instrument.
