Welcome to the first week of the course! We're starting completely from scratch, assuming that you've never played piano in your life. Watch through the lesson videos this week, then check out the "lesson plan" and "checklist", which I'll provide for each lesson in order to keep you organized.

A note on the downloads:

Every week, I'll provide you with a lesson plan to give you an overview of what to expect for the week.

Below that, you'll see all of the sheet music downloads. You'll find sheets for the piece, technique, and sight reading.

There are also .mscz files - these are Musescore downloads. Musescore is a free notation program which you can download here if you'd like. Every piece I assign you will have a printable PDF version, as well as a Musescore version. With the Musescore version, you're able to hit the "play" button on the piece, change the tempo, and so on, which allows you to learn it more easily - previous students have found this program very helpful. Plus, if and when you get into composing your own pieces, this is a great program to use.

I've also bundled every week's downloads in a zip file for ease of use.

Follow along with this piece on the Musescore app. (optional; for those who use tablets or mobile devices to practice.) You can also access the sight reading Musescore files for this week. Here is the music on MuseScore.

Performance videos:

Every week I'll share a video recording of the performance of the lesson piece. Use this as a reference.
