Your child will not need to know music, I teach them that. You will need some form of piano or keyboard, don’t worry about the size, kids do great on full sized piano’s it is amazing to watch them play. I use my more than 30 years of piano teaching experience, (having taught hundreds of youngsters over those years,) to guide your child through the stages of learning piano, using a standard text book from a recognized publisher, whom I always use for my private lessons. (Available worldwide, from Amazon, or good music shops.) By using this text book, I ensure your child learns everything properly, and in a recognized manner, using correct names for everything. Nothing is left to chance. I play every single note that your child will play for them first and with them. They always know what they should sound like and how to play every note. Lessons are fun to take. I advise at the end of every lesson, what students need to practice. Practicing is only five to ten minutes a day, and mum and dad can join in too, I even tell mum and dad, what to do to help. Check the lessons available for viewing to see the quality of teaching. I have never met anyone who regretted learning to play piano; I have met many who regretted, not learning to play piano. As with all my courses: you have unlimited lifetime access at no extra costs, ever all future additional lectures, etc in this course are always free there is an unconditional, never any questions asked full 30 day money-back-in-full guarantee my help is always available to you if you get stuck or have a question – I believe my support on udemy cannot be bettered.
