While most piano teachers are good at teaching what music is and how and what to play, here you can also learn how to play at your best, learn how music is created and ways to create your own, and learn why certain things sound the way they do.
Most piano teachers teach:
Proper Technique
Reading Music
Rhythm
Lots of Songs
At Fairfax Piano, you can learn all those plus:
Ease of Playing
Circle of Fifths
Improvisation
Repertoire
Arranging Music
Lead Sheets
Chord Sheets
Creating Your Own Music
And not only can you learn these things, along the way you can learn the reasons why certain things are done the way they are done. Why curve your fingers? Why practice? Why play things this way and not this other way?
Some of this additional knowledge is presented very early on in the course of lessons. In fact, Ease of Playing and the beginnings of the Circle of Fifths are presented starting at the very first lesson, and Improvisation is brought in not long after!
The more you know about how music is put together, and the more experience you have in creating your own music, the better you can play anything! A working knowledge of keys and chords can help you play that Beethoven Sonata that much easier.
If your preference leans toward modern music rather than classical, know that all of these things that are taught here are used today in creating and playing today's music. Taking lessons at Fairfax Piano can give you a solid basis in playing piano or keyboard regardless of the style of music that you prefer.
