Instruments: Piano

My methods vary with the age of the student. For beginners who are children, I usually start with Alfred's Basic Piano Library, which I try to go through most of that series.

When they are finished, we will go into many different solo pieces for them to play to further advance their knowledge and performance of music. Read More
