Piano Lessons
As you begin your piano lessons, you will first learn the fundamentals of piano
technique including correct hand position and posture, as well as basic music
reading skills. As you progress to playing songs hands together, you will also
develop your counting skills as you play a variety of musical styles during your piano lessons. Once the
basics have been covered, students may focus on playing classical or popular
music, or a combination of both. The playing of scales and chords is also
introduced. Students may also prepare for music examinations.
Intermediate and advanced students may further develop their technical and reading skills as they learn how to interpret a variety of music from the piano repertoire. Students may learn how to play jazz and related skills such as how to read chord symbols, chord voicing techniques and soloing.
