Class Experience

In these weekly one on one piano lessons, intermediate and advanced piano students will continue to learn how to play their piano or electric keyboard. 

The students will use the method books Faber Piano Adventures Levels 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4 or 5, depending on their current level of playing. 

Using the Technique book, students will learn technique for playing the piano, including posture, hand position, scales and fingering.

Using the Lesson book, students will learn note names, rhythm,...

Students will build on the basics of piano playing that they have previously learned Hopefully they will fall in love with playing the piano like I did at a young age.
