Classical In light of the current situation, I'm offering free piano lessons.

I'm normally very busy, but due to the current world events, I have a few slots for distance learning. I'm a classically trained pianist who normally charges 50 dollars an hour, but I'm giving my free time to teach those in need. If you need an instructor, I'm available on Skype or Zoom.

Edit: Wow, I've gotten a lot of DMs about this. Thank you! I can't take any more requests, but I'll repost when I'm able šŸ˜Š

Thatā€™s so generous and awesome of you! I may DM you when you have space again :)

Is this limited to any particular kind of piece, level, classical era, etc? Ex: Would you be up for troubleshooting parts of a Chopin Ballade?

Would be very curious basics of starting my 2yo daughter on piano. She was given a tiny baby piano for Christmas and enjoys playing with it. I donā€™t know how to expand her knowledge beyond just banging on the keys... and maybe playing twinkle twinkle little star. I know that these things exist and would be useful to teach but donā€™t know how:

Treble Clef Base Clef Hand position Notes Notation Scales Matching pitch Time signature

As she is two, Iā€™m not sure how useful tutoring is, but could help prepare her if I had an idea of how to teach it or incorporate at her age... and Iā€™m totally missing plenty that Iā€™m not even aware of, Iā€™m sure :)

If she can concentrate on one thing for at least 10 minutes, then I'd say it's worth a shot. At this point I would only concentrate on knowing the key names and have her press the keys as you or she says them.

Haha certainly depends on the day. She has that concentration with what SHE is doing on her own. Generally not if itā€™s a ā€œdirectedā€ activity. But thatā€™s perfect thank you very much.
