Service Description

Save $15 by booking all three months upfront * No class November 27 Extra class December 4 For a total of 13 classes Group piano will be an introduction to playing the piano. In a lot of ways, it will be a music theory class - but made super FUN!  We’ll start with identifying each note on the piano, learning what makes a scale, learning what makes a chord. For students who already know these elements, we will review them quickly and continue to build on their music theory.  Kids who are 9 years old and up can actually learn the basics of piano very rapidly, providing them a lifelong instrument to know how to play. My piano-teaching philosophy does not emphasize sight reading, but rather understanding the piano as a language… how to build chords, how to create rhythm. My angle on playing the piano or any instrument is that if we can’t create/improvise on it, we don’t really know how to play it! The piano is a visual instrument - each note is laid out on the scale visually to see. Really anyone who likes music would benefit from understanding the piano. That’s why I aim to provide opportunities to learn the piano in a fun, easy, and affordable format! If some students have already played the piano, I will give them more challenging tasks (I have multiple small keyboards.) I have a really specific philosophy that all my classes teach students to be creative - to be able to CREATE music and art and not just memorize. Although there are rote elements and repeating involved in learning, I think most kids don’t have enough chances to really make decisions and be taught how to create. Once someone understands the chords of the piano, then every song starts making more sense.
