Class Experience
Private piano lessons allow the most individualized instruction for the learner. Students may have had previous piano instruction, but that is not required for this class. In the first week, I will assess the student's learning style, personality, and musical knowledge and make recommendations for books and resources. Beginning in the second week, lessons will include review of material as well as introduction of new material in a carefully sequenced, pedagogical method. Each week will...
The three main goals are: developing a strong technique, exploring musical artistry, and becoming fluent in standard musical notation. These goals begin in the very first lessons and continue through advanced lessons.
I have been teaching for more than 10 years while completing my undergraduate degree in music education, my master of music degree in piano performance, and my doctor of musical arts degree in piano pedagogy.
At the end of each lesson, students will receive a practice assignment for the coming week based on what was covered in the lesson.
Following the first lesson, recommendations will be made for books and other supplies, which can be purchased online. Typically, my students spend about $30 on materials each year of study.
Learners are assessed throughout each lesson. Feedback will be given verbally during the lesson and on the practice assignment following the lesson. As needed, videos may be added to the classroom of teacher modeling a new concept at the piano. If desired, students may also prepare for outside adjudication.
25 minutes per class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
Depending on the age, level, and learning style of the student, it may be helpful to have a parent present at times to help with posture, hand position, or placement.
