This class will be a hands-on, enjoyable experience learning the very basics of piano. It will be interactive, and each student will be given time to play and practice as we go through class. My teaching style for this age is very fun, happy, and encouraging to the students as they discover the joy of learning piano. I love to sing and play short songs and notes as we learn and grow together. Each student will be given one on one moments to practice the skills they are learning, receive encouragement, and play some of the songs we will learn together. By the end of the course each student will be able to read basic rhythm, understand the music alphabet and several music terms, and play well-known songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb, Old MacDonald, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
