Piano Lessons your kids will LOVE! In this class students will journey through their piano lessons in a fun and playful way that will include stories, games, songs and movement to reinforce the concepts learned!  They will receive instruction from a teacher who is experienced, joyful, kind and encouraging. 
***Though students are encouraged to complete the pre-reading class, it is absolutely possible to join this class with no previous piano experience as concepts from that will be reviewed before beginning moving to reading on the grand staff.

Students will continue to learn:
* Correct position at the piano and posture
* Keyboard Geography: how to find and recognize the keys on the piano
* Finger numbers and how they relate to playing on the piano
* Sounds on the piano, high/low, forte/piano, long/short
* Many songs to play on the piano by rote and by reading
* Patterns and melody
*Note reading on the music staff

Students will meet each week for 30 minutes and each lesson will include time spent at the piano learning and playing as well as some movement and singing activities to reinforce concepts and keep learners engaged.  A small homework/practice assignment will be given each week at the end of class.

Students should have a piano or a minimum 61 key keyboard to learn and practice on and small amount of daily practice is recommended for progression.  Students will need the Wunderkeys Primer One book available on Amazon.com
