Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI approach the first lesson with a beginner by focusing on comfort, curiosity, and building a strong foundation. I begin by getting to know the student - their age, interests, and any prior musical exposure. I also try to establish a positive, supportive atmosphere. For example, I introduce basic posture, hand position, and keyboard orientation, helping students feel physically comfortable at the instrument.
Lesson 11+From their remaining beginner lessons, students can expect continued growth in confidence, independence, and musical understanding. Lessons focus on strengthening technique, coordination, and reading skills while gradually increasing the complexity of repertoire. Students learn to play with greater fluency, accuracy, and musical expression, applying concepts such as dynamics, articulation, phrasing, and basic stylistic awareness more naturally.
Music theory and sight-reading are reinforced regularly, helping students recognize patterns, intervals, and rhythms so they can learn new music more efficiently. Practice habits continue to evolve, with students learning how to set goals, solve problems independently, and practice with focus and intention rather than repetition alone.
As beginners progress, lessons also emphasize musicality and personal expression, encouraging students to listen critically and make musical choices. By the end of the beginner stage, students are comfortable reading music, maintaining steady tempo, and approaching new pieces with confidence—well prepared to transition into intermediate study or continue playing with enjoyment and purpose.
Lesson 4-10Beginners from tenth lessons, they can expect steady skill-building, increased independence, and a deeper understanding of the instrument. Other concepts include hand position, posture while expanding note reading, rhythm, and coordination. Students begin reading across a wider range of the keyboard and develop greater comfort playing with both hands together.
