I am pleased to offer my 6-lesson summer piano introductory trial course!
This 6 weekly or biweekly lesson program is a great way for the curious beginner to be introduced to the basics of Music Theory and playing the Piano.
Please note that there is no obligation to continue as this program is designed to introduce and see if piano instruction is a good fit for your child.
Through games and keyboard instruction, students will learn basic music theory and piano technique. In addition, they will explore the piano/keyboard, create musical stories, participate in fun theory exercises including learning notation through interactive note recognition games and counting simple rhythm patterns.
This will provide an excellent transition to continuing piano instruction during the school year by preparing the student with the necessary building blocks.
Please note participation in the Summer Piano Introductory Course does not guarantee a lesson slot in the fall.
