Description
This class is open to students who are either completely new to the piano or have limited prior experience. In a relaxed, small-group setting, students orient their fingers on the keyboard and explore notation, pitch and rhythm. Students learn how to coordinate their fingers in time, while learning chords and familiar melodies. Instructors advise on how to combine hands together and build finger strength and agility through patterns and finger exercises. This class will prepare students for private lessons.
