Introduction Program

I am so excited to offer this class for any age group at our studio. This is a class to introduce you to the piano & systhesizer and prepare you for a journey of learning in our group piano program or private lessons. Introduction to Piano is specifically designed to prepare you to step into our Piano: Beginning 1 class at the end of eight weeks.

You will cover approximately pages 0 - 37 in the All-In-One Course: Lesson, Theory, Technic (Level 1) specially written by me in Introduction to Piano.

This class is intended for those who have had little to no experience with the piano. You will begin with the basics, how to sit at the piano, hand positions starting with middle C, identifying the keys, learning notes (quarter, half, eight and whole), time signatures, and more.

Basic Program : For Beginners

When you are beginning a new task or learning something new it is always best to have a starting point. In this lesson you are given a starting point on the piano.

That starting point is Middle C.

From there we go up the keyboard using the white keys and make a C Major Scale. From the notes in that scale we are able to build chords. The chords we build are called triads or 3-note chords.

The first chord we build is the C chord which is made up of the notes C, E, and G. The next chord is the F chord which is made up of the notes F, A, and C. The last chord we build is made up of the notes G, B, and D.

After we build the chords we add the root of each chord in the left hand and then play them in succession. Playing the chords like this is called a chord progression. You don’t get too many details, but we give a good starting point for learning how to play the piano.

For Intermediate Piano Players

You will:

Learn how to develop your ear to hear melodies and chord progressions and how to find them on the keyboard.
Learn to play the piano using a simple, logical, step-by-step approach free from endless, dry exercises and uninteresting music.
Learn to incorporate simple chord substitution tricks to transform a basic chord progression into something memorable.
Learn the chord voicings the pros use to create the sounds you hear on the radio every day.
Learn how to build creative and melodic chord progressions by connecting and embellishing chords efficiently.

The biggest advantage being associated with us is simply that everything you need to know is laid out in one course... step-by-step, start to finish. There's no need to search for all kinds of different materials while trying to piece together your own training program. The main concept tought at The Burning Desire is the connection with the Piano which build upon each other in a logical, step-by-step format so that you never feel lost. If you already have the basics down, just skip through the first few lessons and get to the good stuff.

Isn't it time you got serious about really learning to play the piano?
