This Piano at Christmas class is intended for beginner pianists ages 6-10. 

In this class, you will learn the following: 

-Piano notes C, D, E, F, and G
-Piano finger numbers
-Jingle Bells (melody only)

Students will learn the Jingle Bells melody in class. Additionally, the provided handout will also contain a harder version, which can be practiced after class (Level 2).



Class Structure:

This course is kept small to create the most "hands-on" virtual experience possible! All students are encouraged to ask questions and play for me at any time for affirmation or critique. Students will attend class at their own keyboard or piano and actively participate. Mics will be muted for most of class, that way students can hear me and are not distracted by their classmates.

I have two cameras, one with a side view and another with a close-up view of my hands. Students have the option to print materials before class, and class materials will be also shared to the screen for everyone to see.



Student Interaction:

Mics will be muted for most of class, meaning students will not interact with each other. However, students are able to ask questions at any time. There will also be occasional class participation, during which students can share their answers/experiences.



Parental Involvement:

Some students may need adult help, depending on their age, prior experience, and learning style. It is advised that siblings are enrolled in separate sections, unless one sibling is experienced and/or is known to not need adult help. 



Teaching Style:

My teaching style is patient, warm, and enthusiastic. I want students to love piano as much as I do!



Required Knowledge/Experience:

No previous musical knowledge/experience required. Students will only use their right hand in class, but if they choose to try the harder version after class, they will need to know know the difference between their right hand and left hand.
