This class is meant for teens just starting out in piano, learning to play chords, who also like to sing. This class will be a music performance class where students will have the opportunity to try out new songs weekly and get used to performing in front of others. This class will be in a fun club format, giving students flexibility in song choices for each class. This will be a musical performance class for beginning teens, who are just learning piano chords to come and try new songs weekly. They will have the opportunity to choose a new song each week that they would like to attempt and will practice to perform it during club the following week. Students can choose to just play piano or sing and play. We will focus on song choices using beginning piano chords (A, AM, B, Bm, Bb, C, D, Dm, E, Em, F, G and Gm). However, new chords may also be introduced in class as they come up in song choices students are interested in playing. If you’re looking for a course about reading sheet music and proper music theory, this is NOT the one, BUT if you want to be a performing pop or rock musician in a band with friends, and just have FUN on piano, I can help you do that! We will play chords, play songs, sing, and have fun! Come join me!
Learning Goals
Practice basic piano chords, singing, and performance skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I have many years experience as a teacher and also, separately, as a performing musician! I’m thrilled to be able to merge those two interests on Outschool and help teens learn to sing and play simple pop/rock songs.
I was a singer/songwriter in several fun rock bands in NJ & NY in my younger days! I have since learned to accompany my singing on piano! I can show YOU how to do so as well! Check out the class video to see what I do!
