1-2 horas por semana. The amount of practicing will vary depending on the level of the learner, and will be decided upon the first lesson. Beginners should prepare to spend approximately 15-20 minutes, 3-5 days a week at their piano.Experiencia de clase
Private piano lessons will be delivered based on the learner’s possible past music experience, preferred learning style, interests and goals. Over the course of ongoing lessons, a variety of musical topics will be covered including: * Technique (such as proper hand positioning, warm up scales/chords, performance strategies) * Songs from a variety of musical styles (such as classical music, contemporary, popular, etc) * Theory (note naming, rhythm, reinforcing what is learnt in songs, etc) * Musical History (learning about Composers and styles of music from a wide variety of musical eras) * Ear Training ( playing songs by ear, melody playback games, clapbacks, recognizing chords) *Creativity (opportunities to make their own rhythms and their own songs) Each lesson will be unique in content, but will typically be structured as follows: * The lesson will begin with a warm up (such as a scale, a chord progression, or a short song) that will be assigned as practicing material for the week. * 2-3 pieces will be taught and worked on each week, with the teacher giving guidance with how to begin the song, help with note reading and playing with the correct rhythm, and any other assistance that can support the learner as they learn the piece and work on it for the week. Songs may be worked on for a few weeks, or new songs may be assigned each week. * Last 5 minutes may be spent on Musical Theory or interactive activities. REFUND POLICY: -Please notify teacher at least 1 week/ 7 days ahead of class, if your child is unable to make their next lesson. My availability for teaching is limited, and my schedule won't allow for rescheduling or refunds, however a "video lesson recording" can be made for your child in the event they are unable to attend class for any reason. PRACTICE PLANS: After each lesson, students or their families can request a "Practice Plan" if they find helpful, with tips on what to practice for the week. Please allow 24-48 hours after the class to attach their practice plan in the classroom. RECITALS: Twice per year (usually every December and June), students have the opportunity to participate in a group recital, where they are able to perform a song or two for a group of other learners. Recitals are always a highlight for learners, and are free of charge. PRACTICE COMMITMENT: Learning the piano requires consistent practice in order to progress. Parents should be ready to help support their child in practicing 3-5 days per week, 15-20 minutes at a time. MATERIALS/BOOKS: No books are needed for the first 1-2 classes. After the first 1-2 classes, I will send a recommendation for books that would be a good fit. Often, learning will be based off of either the Piano Adventures book series, Alfred Premier Piano Course, or the Bastien series, which will be required to purchase. However before a learner’s first lesson, parents are encouraged to contact the teacher to discuss what books the learner has at home, prior music experience, etc to determine the best fit for a set of books! Typically, our first 1-2 classes are spent learning some basics without books. Some young learners (Ages 5-7yrs) may find it beneficial to have a parent or another adult near them to assist during their lessons. Please message me to schedule a time for weekly 25 minute lessons if there are no posted times that work for your schedule. Prior to signing up for ongoing lessons, a "one-time" lesson charged the same rate, can be scheduled to meet the teacher and determine if your learner is interested in weekly classes. Message me to schedule a one-time class! For Fall 2023: Classes will run from September 9 - Mid December. I'll be away August 18th-August 25th, and will respond to messages when I return. Every level, from beginner to advanced is welcome! No prior musical knowledge is required.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Welcome, Learners and Families!
I'm delighted to be teaching a variety of music classes here on Outschool.
As a piano teacher, I have over 9 years of experience teaching group and private piano at a local music studio to children of all ages and levels. Since the COVID pandemic, I have also been teaching here on Outschool!
I have achieved my Level 10 Piano with the Royal Conservatory of Music, which has allowed me to study and perform pieces in all musical styles. I've completed courses in piano pedagogy (meaning: learning how to teach), as well as Musical Harmony, Musical History, and Theory courses. My goal is to teach in a fun, encouraging, and engaging way for students to find the joys that music offers, and develop a lifelong appreciation for music. I'm excited to see your child develop creativity, confidence, and may other wonderful skills through music. I offer group and 1-on-1 classes for all ages and levels. Please don't hesitate to send me a message if there are no times posted that work for your schedule and I will do my best to find an alternative time!
Outside of teaching, I am currently in school completing my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy. I also love to learn new pieces on the piano, and hope to learn the cello one day! I love hiking, playing soccer and badminton, and recently took up crocheting.
My goal is to teach in a way that sparks curiosity and creativity in students, where students leave the class feeling confident and excited to continue learning and sharing their love for music with others.
I look forward to seeing you in class!
