For beginning piano players I use Alfred's Basic music Library Books, which is a great course! There are books for children level, as well as adult books, which may be accompanied by a workbook and a recital book.

For beginning students, I always start with technique and posture, as improper technique can be catastrophic to your playing down the line. From there we'll cover the basics, such as chord shapes, strumming patterns, and scales.

For example, if the student in question likes Punk Rock music, every week we'd go over a riff from a popular Punk song. Read More

If it is a harder piece, We gradually work towards it, whilst simultaneously tackling other pieces with similar traits. Read More

For those with experience and established musical interests, I will form a plan and practice schedule based around the interest and concepts that the student seeks from theirmusical quest. Read More
