Lesson Topic
Introduction to the Piano and all its PARTS.
Lesson Outline
Jayne and I had a great time studying the PIANO and all of its special parts.
We talked about and played each note and counted them: TOTAL 88 Keys
The BLACK KEYS are the sharps and the flat notes: they sound like a Chinese Song.
(She made up her own tune and I made up some words to it and sang it to her)
We identified the LOW NOTES on the left side and the HIGH NOTES on the right side.
I talked about and played notes in different ways: IE: Stacatto; quick and sharp
Long sounds with the notes held down. We located MIDDLE "C" and established her beginning hand position with her THUMB on middle "C" .... and I had her play the 1st five consecutive notes going up and playing them back down. She will work on her hand coordination and get better with practice.
I showed her a FUN SONG she can play with only her right hand on ALL THE BLACK NOTES.
We talked about the 3 PEDALS below the bench on the piano and I played examples of what the sound was with and without the pedals. Overall I think she is going to do very well on Piano and her attention span was great.

Lesson Comments
Hey Judie I had a wonderful time with Jayne and this was my first interaction with her personally.
If you ever need me to Substitute again for PIANO I would LOVE IT!!
I would be more than happy as well to add on any student for PIANO LESSONS and grew up
learning piano, as my mother was the local piano teacher in TEQUESTA.
My house was filled with music and I LOVED IT!!! I have openings on Tuesdays and Thursdays in my schedule.
