Note to parents:
Here is our recommended learning path for piano students:

1. Introduction to Piano Fundamentals- for the pure beginner. Young learners will find this class simple to grasp and loads of fun. This class is a great way to establish good habits from day one.

2. Piano Fundamentals 2- This is a class where we focus on reading music notation. Any learner with a bit of piano experience who is unsure of their reading can start here. Reading music is essential in your piano journey and learners who cannot do this well will struggle in these courses. This class is highly recommended.

3. Piano Fundamentals 3- Where we learn to master the art of practice and play through the rest of the beginner method book

4. Intermediate Piano Course 1- We jump to the big leagues and master basic chords in C and G position. We move quickly and play more advanced pieces. Quality practice is essential for success in this class.

5. Intermediate Piano Course 2A and 2B- Hanon exercises, an expanded rhythmic vocabulary, and more sophisticated piano pieces are covered in these courses.

6. Intermediate Piano Course 3- Scales, technique, and longer pieces in different keys.

7. Intermediate Piano Course 4- We will learn about minor scales and get to the end of the Alfred Adult All-In-One Course book. 

8. Advanced Piano 1- We make the jump into the Alfred Adult Level 2 book.

9. Advanced Piano 2- We continue through the Level 2 book.

10. Advanced Piano 3- We cover the keys of E minor, D Major, and the chromatic scale

11. Advanced Piano 4- Chord inversions are covered as well as 2 part writing

12. Recital Ready- This is an ongoing class where we cover famous piano literature in a group setting. This is the highest level group class that I teach and it is recommended that learners cover all previous levels before enrolling. 🎹
