*No previous piano experience is necessary for this course* 

Traditional piano lessons focus on reading, piano technique, and song performance. Jazz, pop, and blues piano lessons focus on improvisation, ear-training, and creativity. I say, why not have both from the very start? This course offers a hybrid between the more-traditional style lessons (we’ll work through a method book), and the more jazzy style of lessons (each lesson will have a creative element). 

You can choose the focus of the course: 
*Option 1: Emphasis on traditional-style teaching with a splash of improvisation
*Option 2: Emphasis on improvisation with a splash of foundational skills (reading, piano technique, etc)
*Option 3: Equal emphases on traditional-style instruction and improvisation

For the traditional portion of the lesson, we will be working through the “Bastien New Traditions All In One Piano Course.” (Or you can continue working through your preferred method book if you have one). For the improvisation part of the lesson, we will be working through chord progression, scales, and other various improvisation techniques to be determined by the learner’s desired track.

Because each learner will enter the course with a different skills repertoire and a different focus, the students will progress through each week differently. 

I really value the experience I’ve had from learning traditional lessons, but I didn’t love them at the time. My heart was focused on improvisation and creativity. I hope that you’ll find that this course is a good blend of both, focused on the needs and wants of each individual learner. Learning piano was always meant to be fun.

I can’t wait to see you in class!
Mr. Paul
