Students will continue their musical education by learning more advanced musical skills.   They will learn the melodies (using both hands), chords, arpeggios, and scales  in the first half of the Faber "Accelerated Piano Adventures For The Older Beginner" Lesson Book (Book 2).   Students will have fun learning to play songs and using these skills in order to composing simple rhythms and melodies. 

I am a retired public school music teacher.  I graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC with a  Bachelors of Music Education.  I have taught music to all grades in the public school system, but spent most of time in elementary and middle school music. I have taught private piano lessons for many years in my home to all ages, ranging from 5 years old to adults.  I have taught online for more than 5 years and enjoy this a great deal!  I am also certified in Reading and ESL and enjoy working with all ages of students.
