An Overview For The Mature Student
Welcome to your first in-depth musical experience!
Since you are now beginning your musical studies, it is important
that we stress the basics so that you can expand your repertoire
and keep your musical options open. You will be exposed to and
taught note reading, counting, dynamics, playing hands together,
a variety of touches and a variety of styles. Most importantly,
you will dictate the pace in which you progress based on how much
time you have to practise.
Lesson Time: 1/2 hour per week
Books: To be supplied by the teacher. Student will reimburse
