Class Overview
Hello!
Piano is one of the easiest instruments to learn. Over my 10 years of teaching, I have developed a very efficient system of helping students build strong technique and understanding the fundamentals of music. No matter what kind of music you want to play, good technique and music theory is fundamental. I teach my students to become self sufficient and to learn to play anything they want to play.
Do you have a piano? Or a keyboard? There is a big difference between learning on a piano and a keyboard. If you are also looking to purchase an instrument, I can educate you on the differences and options to acquiring one. It doesn't need to be expensive at all to get started.
I take students 5 years and up. The younger the kids are, the more parents will need to participate in their education. I educate parents on how to fully support their kids' learning and to make the whole experience more fun/positive.
Adults can learn to play VERY well. Don't worry about starting late. I've also had students' parents learn piano with me and adults can learn quicker. My method is very straightforward and will help you understand the in's and out's of piano technique.
Musicianship skills is also a separate course I offer to teach to which I can also incorporate into piano lessons. Musicianship include sight-singing, rhythm, and listening skills. These skills are often overlooked for all instrumentalists as a lot of people think they don't directly relate to their playing. If you are interested in taking RCM exams, these skills will be tested but aside from exams, training these skills will significantly improve your playing as an instrumentalist and a musician overall.
Aside from the hourly lesson each week, my students have access to my help online so they don't have to wait until the next lesson to solve a tiny problem they may have during practice.
As I like to perform myself, I make sure my students have lots of performance opportunities.
Have a chat with me to find out a lot more!
