02 / THE LESSONS
Where are
you starting?
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
These are a few places to begin.
New to the piano
Get to know the keys, read your first notes, and build a steady rhythm. Start with the basics and take it from there.
Already playing
Work on technique, explore expression, and spend time on the parts of your playing you’d like to develop.
Starting again, or just for you
Begin as an adult or return after a break. Bring the music you’re curious about and talk through what you’d like to learn.
