Requirements for Piano Lessons:
To get the best value from your piano lessons with me, I recommend that you have some musical background from one or more of these areas:
previous piano lessons, a few years of playing a band or orchestral instrument, experience of singing in a church choir or choral group for a year or more.
Musical Interests:
In addition to including technique, music reading, some music theory, and some classical literature (if you are interested), your lessons will include learning to play songs with accompaniments based on chords.
Piano/Keyboard:
Students need to have a piano or digital piano (with weighted keys like a piano)
Requirements for Composition Lessons:
Musical Background- same as above
Piano/Keyboard-you can have a 61 note light touch keyboard if you don’t have anything else
Music Notation Software-It’s much better to have software that works on a computer vs. a tablet I use Sibelius, but there are less expensive programs available.
