Lessons
When you start taking piano
lessons.....
Piano
- To take piano lessons, you need a
piano. It can be either acoustic or electric. If you
purchase an electric one, make sure it has 88 KEYS with
PIANO TOUCH. Contact me for recommendations.
Musical material
There are no additional fees for the
materials I provide. I intend to use many different pieces for the
beginners. After a while, when the student is ready to use a
whole book, I will suggest particular books (and editions) to
keep. Until then, I will provide the material to the student
as they are needed.
Listening material
A "tape of the Week" will be lent to the
student after every lesson to take home. This is to help
extend their musical thinking and sensibility. Please listen
at least three times during the week. Each tape will be only
fifteen minutes long.
Home work
I will often give the student homework in
addition to keyboard practice such as "write down all of the
sounds you hear in one evening" to extend your sound
awareness.
Lesson fee
Fee for the one lesson is from $35 (30min/beginner).
One additional
comment
If you want to take lessons in Japanese,
please let me know. In either case I will teach musical
terms in English to avoid confusion; however, everything
else can be discussed in Japanese if you prefer.
