Please note:
Three books are required for success in this course however they're not required for the first two lessons so you have time to order them!

In this twenty minute, accelerated once weekly class, young beginners will learn the ABC's of piano, with the "Little Mozarts" friends like Beethoven Bear and Mozart Mouse.  These stuffed animals are really names of real classical music composers and your learner will play pieces by these composers by the end of the series of books! 
My complete collection of stuffed animals that are characters in these books will keep your learner engaged with stories that make the music come alive!  Your learner will discover new musical concepts weekly, while reviewing what we've already learned with engaging games.  I'll also provide resources so your learner can create their own "Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear" at home or alternatively provide links for you to purchase your own stuffed animals.  
For the first two to six lessons a parent to assist with turning pages and helping locate piano keys is helpful, however your student will quickly learn to do these activities independently!  
My goal as a teacher is to meet your student where they are at, and give them the tools to learn piano quickly and well-all in a fun environment.
