Learner progress is assessed by uploading videos of student's work at home, but this class is about the process of learning music and having a positive, stress-free first experience of music study.Experiencia de clase
This self-paced beginner's piano course will introduce your young learner to finding their way around the piano through ear training and teacher led songs and games. Students will move to a steady beat, sing tonal patterns, and learn short and engaging songs appropriate for their age and technique. Every week, your learner may expect one or videos focused on one or two songs or learning goals. Learners should expect to review the song or songs for that week several times on different days in order to practice and progress. Please see the syllabus for a breakdown of what we'll do each week.
Metas de aprendizaje
Learners will practice simple tonal and rhythmic patterns appropriate to beginner musicians
Learners will practice a healthy beginner's keyboard technique: loose wrists and rounded hands while playing piano
Learners will gain confidence and enjoy learning songs that are easily accessible and engaging
Learners will start our music study by playing with a steady beat from the start

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! :)
