Series Details

About

This series consists of multiple piano lessons focused on helping you learn the different keys, scales, and songs that you can play with no previous experience. It is recommended that you have a piano or keyboard, but if not, there is a virtual keyboard that I will introduce to the class as well. From "Happy Birthday" to Beethoven's "Für Elise", this series will teach you how to play the piano with finesse.

Tutor Qualifications

I've played the piano for about 9 years and completed Level 6 NYSSMA, (the last level) in middle school. I've taken a multitude of private lessons from different teachers and helped my younger sisters with their piano playing as well.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You can pick and choose which lessons to attend, but if you are a complete beginner, it is recommended that you don't miss more than 2 sessions. Make sure to let me know if you will be missing a session.

About the Tutor

Hi! 🤗 I'm a high school student with a passion for adventure, teaching, and learning. Fencing, tennis, jogging, and hiking keep me active while listening to music and creating digital art allow me to expand my creativity. You'll often find me diving into fantastical worlds through books or tv series. I strive for academic excellence, and I want to absorb as much information as I possibly can.
