Materials and Lesson Plans

To download, print and access all materials and lesson plans, please go to the main portal: www.pianotv.net/songshopbasics/.

 

You can watch the lessons at your leisure when they're uploaded each Monday (we're aiming for the mornings).

 

All you'll need on hand are your sheet music/songwriting pages (printed so that you can write on the pages), homework pages, something to write with, and a device to view the lessons on. A small binder or duotang would be a nice addition as well to keep things organized. You can choose to print the answer key if you'd like as well.

 

For the duration of the course (6 weeks), the average amount of weekly practice/homework expected is between 2-3 hours (20-30m/day). This is for the average student - some will need more time, others less. If you're unable to devote that much time to piano practice, expect that it just might take you a little longer than 6 weeks to finish the workshop.

 

I hope you're looking forward to it - get ready to have fun and write lots. 🙂
