This 6-week series for budding pianists will introduce your child to reading and writing music, proper technique, hand position, and posture. They will learn different practice methods including how to learn songs, music theory, and scales in a fun, game-like format. By the end of the series, your child will have learned basic songs, know how chords are made, and – most importantly – have been encouraged in whatever musical direction(s) they were most interested!
