Description

This class is open to students who are either completely new to the piano, or have had some prior experience at a beginner level. In a relaxed, small group setting, students orient their fingers on the keyboard and explore notation, pitch and rhythm. Students also 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.
