In these piano lessons students will begin their piano playing journey in a fun and playful way that will include games, songs and movement to reinforce the concepts learned!  They will receive instruction from a master teacher who is experienced, joyful, kind and encouraging and has specialized in teaching young learners for over 20 years.

Students will learn:
* Position at the piano and posture
* Keyboard Geography and how to find and recognize the keys on the piano
* Finger numbers and how they relate to playing on the piano
* Sounds on the piano, high/low, forte/piano, long/short
* Many songs to play on the piano by rote and by ear
* Patterns and melody

Students will meet each week for 30 minutes and each lesson will include time spent at the piano learning and playing as well as some movement and singing activities to reinforce concepts and keep learners engaged.  A small homework/practice assignment will be given each week at the end of class.

Students should have a piano or a minimum 61 key keyboard with full size keys to learn and practice on and small amount of daily practice is recommended for progression.  Students will not need to order a book for this class as all materials will be provided through digital downloads.
