The Lessons

  • When you enroll, a private lesson webpage will be created just for you.
  • I will send you a lesson each week introducing appropriate concepts. It will include musical concepts, playing tips and demonstration videos that you can access anytime. I will also include customized assignments related to your progress.
  • In the Course Forum, you will be able to easily post your assignments (usually audio or video) to the Course Forum. I will review them and give you personal coaching on your playing.
  • You're never alone. You can post questions to me or other students anytime.
  • Review all of your content (past or current) anytime.

I teach from the electronic book, You Can Play Piano. It's easy to navigate and it comes with audio files to help in your practicing. It's hosted online and you can review and purchase at from Yamaha MusicSoft

Or, you can purchase or order a hard copy at your local Barnes & Noble, your local music store or online from Amazon.com.
