Structured similarly to Ready for Piano: Young Beginners, this is a great next step (or introductory step-no experience needed) for young piano and keyboard students. Students can expect to start each week practicing music patterns by clapping, singing, moving, and inventing their own music on and off the keyboard. Class time will be spent introducing new concepts and pieces, and playing musical games to enhance understanding of the material, creativity, and general music concepts. Students who complete this course will be ready for the Music Moves for Piano, Book B courses, in preparation for the primer level studies that begin with Music Moves for Piano, Book 1. This is a rote-learning, aurally based course. Students will learn to think, feel, play, and hear the music before learning to write it down, which will introduced in future studies. Students will have practice videos each week reviewing the songs I introduce during class time and helping them focus to practice and learn the songs. We will also have several "My Story" days where we will make musical decisions about how to play, and then work on our own composition/improvisation. Adult assistance for pre-readers may be necessary at times, as well as reminders of where to place hands. Although every student is different, students who complete this class through good attendance and daily practice will be ready for much more independence in the following courses, making prompts of where to place hands less important, or not necessary at all!

Orientación para padres
Young learners may need some guidance and help finding the keys and operating Zoom settings such as mute/unmute.
Students should have Zoom configured so that they can "Use Original Sound"--otherwise your learner's playing will be filtered out as background noise by Zoom!
Every class, we will begin with light stretching and movement to warm-up our bodies to play piano and our minds to play music!
Lista de útiles escolares
Keyboard Songs, Music Moves for Piano, by Marilyn Lowe, Book A (a red book, best to find at MusicMovesforPiano.com, $20) A keyboard and a small area to move around in are required for this ongoing class. The keyboard should have at least 5 octaves, or 60 keys, and have touch sensitive or weighted keys. Students should also have an adjustable bench so they can sit at the correct height at the keyboard.

As a professional musician and a mom, I put a high value on exposing children to music in fun, uplifting, and creative ways. I particularly enjoy introducing music in ways that support and affirm a student's own innate musical understanding, and help bring that out from the start. I believe in whole child education, understanding that a learner brings their whole self to the lesson, and that my role is to affirm and support their WHOLE self. My ACE Educator workshops focused on different ways to engage the whole child-whether cultural, emotional/SEL, neurodiversity, or other difference, I care about your learner having the best possible introduction to music.
My own musical training included studies overseas, where exposure to a different culture surrounding musical education broadened my own training and goals in teaching beginning students to play. Although I have an affinity for starting students off right as beginners, I have worked with music students of all ages and levels, and value the changing needs and goals when helping intermediate or advanced musicians grow and hone their skills. When I'm not making music and teaching, I'm probably knitting and designing unique knitwear and clothes to wear and gift :-) I also enjoy pottery, painting, and sewing, to name a few things.
Studio policies:
All my classes are currently autoposting recordings. If there's ever a safety reason for a recording to not be posted, you will not be able to view it. If you miss a class, you are encouraged to watch these recordings. I follow all of Outschool's policies regarding refunds and make-up classes.
If you are taking private classes with me, I will always wait at least 20 minutes before closing the section. I otherwise follow the same refund and absence policies as set forth by Outschool: students must be logged in by 10 minutes after the start of class. Given the nature of the classes I teach, I will not teach to an empty classroom, but practice videos will be available when the class listing calls for it.
Many parents are curious about where to start their learners. Here's a quick rundown/sample course of studies:
Younger beginners 3-5:
Ready for Piano->Introduction to Piano and Music Book A, Book B, Then begin Book 1
5-7 Year Olds: Start directly in Book B
Older beginners (8 and up): Beginning Piano Lessons, Book 1. For those who prefer an ongoing course offering, I now offer a class called Piano Level 1, where we cover some of the same materials in Beginning Piano Lessons, but with more abstract concepts of music theory and improvisation. It still includes a lot of fun games, however! :)
