Semester Long Private Piano Lessons & Recorder Lessons

#Confidence

Hello, thank you for taking a peek at my private piano and recorder class.  I have taught private piano for ages 3 - adult as well as group lessons for over 30 years for all levels!  My teaching style is fun and engaging.  I like to present learning the notes and symbols of music in a way that is easy to remember.  Rhythm is taught so it is internalized so it will come naturally to the learner.  

If you have piano books in your home, we may be able to use them.  If you don't, we can use the songs I have written for beginner piano, download, and print, and then graduate to Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book, Book 2, which you can purchase on Amazon.  During our first class, we will determine where to start, depending on your background in music.   I like to discuss specific songs that older students want to learn how to play and make these a goal to aim for.   

This is the same class as the ongoing 1:1 but in a desired way that Charter schools need to enroll in a semester-long private class as they need.  There is no prior musical background.  For those who do have a musical background, we will start where they are and progress from there at the level and continue on from there learning songs, additional notes, scales, and other musical techniques that correlate with the learner's level of expertise.  

If you do not have a piano, bring in a keyboard, no matter the size.  I have had early beginners start on a toy piano and bloom into top musicians!  Soprano recorders can be purchased online for less than $10.

A few times per year, I will offer one-time recital classes for anyone who would like to sign up to perform in front of their peers.  This helps in learning proper listening and performing etiquette during the recital.  

This class is great for those attending Charter Schools.  Please let me know if you need a certain time that is not listed and I may be able to accomodate.  

I hope to see your learner in class:).   If you do not see a time that I can accommodate, please message me, as I can accommodate other times, or check out my flexible beginner piano lessons for young ages at https://outschool.com/classes/little-musicians-beginner-piano-lessons-flexible-schedule-course-1-WZxGOg5u#usob8C3odM or my flexible piano and recorder lessons for older learners starting at age 8 and up at https://outschool.com/classes/elementary-music-class-with-beginning-recorder-piano-lessons-on-your-schedule-48tOtujI#usob8C3odM
