About

In this course, we'll be covering the fundamentals of how to read notes and rhythm, locate notes on the piano, proper hand technique, etc. You will need access to a physical keyboard or piano (88-key not necessary) of some sort for this class! If you're interested in solely piano theory or do not have access to a physical keyboard, check out my other series :)

About the Tutor

I'm a rising high school senior from NorCal. I’m passionate about health science and have experience with multiple AP courses. I’m looking to take AP Physics 2 and C next year and any help would be appreciated! Feel free to send me a message on Schoolhouse about any questions you might have :) I like hiking, backpacking, running, swimming, biking, skydiving, competitive eating, and occasionally playing the piano. "Don't stop when you're finished, stop when you're done."
