Sing. Play. Learn.
In this Level 1 beginner class, students will learn the musical alphabet at the keyboard in a limited hand position. As students learn the keys they will also begin reading music on the staff. Students will become familiar with piano through games and exercises in class, along with some written theory practice for home. Through singing and playing, students will be able to learn music at a comfortable pace.
