TEchnique
Before we get into any serious playing, it's important to warm up and practice proper technique. We'll practice a variety of exercises both away from and at the piano.
Theory
Students will be learning a lot of new concepts from note reading to rhythm to musical terms and symbols. In addition to experiencing these things in their repertoire, students will get a variety of practice and review through games and activities.
Repertoire
In addition to standard classical repertoire, students will learn a variety of other styles including pop, lyrical, jazz, and more. Students will have the opportunity to learn music they love and want to play!
Creativity
From their very first lesson, I have students experimenting and creating their own music at the piano. Every year we'll also do a studio-wide composition project.
Performance Opportunties
We will have regular studio recitals and other performance opportunities. Students will also have the opportunity to prepare for exams and festivals through the Royal Conservatory of Music, the Music Teacher's National Association, and the National Federation of Music Clubs.
