Group Piano Classes: Adult - All in One

Description

You are never too old to learn piano! This course is designed for beginners and will cover the basics of the instrument and music fundamentals. It is natural for adults to feel uncomfortable at the keyboard because of stiffness in their fingers or wrists. Therefore, in this class students will learn how to sit with the proper posture at the piano, and how to maintain the correct hand position without tension. Moreover, by the end of the course students will play for each other during class and learn how to have fun sharing music with others.

Group lessons are a natural stepping stone to private piano lessons with HBSM's world-class piano instructor, Dr. Ekaterina Bessmeltseva.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course the students will develop a basic music reading and sight-reading ability, learn music theory concepts, and gain an overall appreciation of the music. Students will play for each other!

Class Expectations

It is expected that students practice at home by themselves for approximately 30 minutes per week.
