Beginner - Advanced Level
In this class, learners will continue their piano studies through music theory. Designed to work with the Faber and Faber Music Theory workbooks, this class goes more in-depth with the theory they learn through their music. Learners will have the opportunity to spend more time engaging in their theory workbooks. With guided help through their workbook pages, we will also spend time during class strengthening their knowledge of the topics through games, interactive music I like to teach music theory through games, interactive slides, and composing so this class is hands-on and fun! I will plan different activities based on where each learner is in their musical journey. This class is geared for anyone who is in a piano study course with me or another instructor. Send me a message if you have any questions! Class photo by Tima Miroshnichenko from Pexels.
