LEARN to play PIANO PROGRAM
PROGRAM CONTENT - MAKING MUSIC LEARNING FUN
Wendy’s Programs are designed to make learning to read and play so simple that you can play a tune in your first session.
Every Musical Concept is introduced individually, building on what has been learnt before.
As you start a new musical concept ( a new note, symbol etc)
- First there are the LEARN videos with exercises to play.
- Now try the Tunes which have tutorial videos and easy to play backing tracks that make you sound like an instant rock star!
For those who enjoy variety or if you need extra work on a concept, there are many other choices of activities you can have fun with.
- Work on your playing technique with special exercises using the new concept,
- Get your groove on with CREATE improvising play-alongs,
- Test your knowledge with flashcards,
- Try a quick sight reading piece,
- Print and complete some music theory
Finally when you feel ready,
- Play well known music at the level that you can achieve,
See your progress as you master lesson by lesson, level by level,and much more!
Piano lessons can start from as young as three years with some teachers, and continue even for beginners in the senior years.
Learning Piano or Keyboard is treated in the same way for beginners as they learn their way round the keys, the music and the co-ordination involved in playing!
Well known for being wonderfully versatile the piano is an instrument able to be played as a soloist and also as an accompanist to others.It’s also one of the easiest to start on as it is so easy to get your first sound and first tune!
Whether classical, contemporary, jazz or another style of music attracts you, piano is one that can deliver.
PROGRAM FORMAT - MAKING LEARNING EASY
Wendy's Learn to Play Program is a self paced program so students can start where they need and progress at their own pace. Each student also has the flexibility and opportunity to choose how much material and which activities they enjoy whilst being guided through a systematic approach to learning the basics.
As a highly experienced teacher, Wendy knows that learning on your own is difficult, so her program includes lots of support:
- Access to her Private "Learn to Play Piano" Facebook Group, for quick questions, community, support and sharing.
- Weekly Online group lesson for demos, tutorials, question & answers, sharing and community.
- Ability to book individual casual lessons with Wendy when needed.
WHAT YOU NEED to LEARN TO PLAY PIANO:
The Learn to Play Piano program is available for students who have a piano or a keyboard at home.
Instruments vary greatly in price, size and capability. The cheaper option is to buy a portable keyboard, but don’t get fooled into buying a small one as it won’t last long enough to make it worthwhile. A minimum of 5 octaves and preferably with “touch response” ( plays loud and soft by pressing harder/softer) is suggested although that may only last a keen student for 12 -24 months before an upgrade to a digital piano or acoustic piano is required.
In addition to an instrument, headphones are helpful for keyboard and digital pianos and a sustain pedal is essential!
For keyboards the importance of having the instrument at a good height means an adjustable stand for the instrument and an adjustable stool.
Wendy provides a full suite of learning resources for use in lessons and at home, but additional sheet music may be desired for students wanting to learn music of their own choosing from time to time too.
