Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI use the Faber book series and we will start on the black keys! We look for patterns on the piano and begin with those…then move to the names of the white keys.
Lesson 11+Lots of fun and enjoyable music to learn and play as you advance through the method books and into supplemental material you want to play… pop music, jazz, the famous classics.
I can also teach how to read chord charts and lead sheets if you are more interested in playing keys with a band.
Lesson 4-10Getting more and more familiar with the musical staff and playing with both hands… together!
Lesson 2-3We will move to the musical staff around lesson 3 (depending on age of student). Adult students move much faster through lessons. You will play songs you recognize by this point!
Youth players
Working with kidsStarting piano lessons at age 6 when I child has mastered the alphabet is the best time! I will gage how the child learns and we will go at their pace.
Working with teenagersLessons with older beginners go at a faster pace and before you know it you will move to the style of music you’d like to learn to play!
