Introduction to Piano

This tutorial is designed for beginners interested in learning to play piano and/or read music. It is not designed to replace the knowledge and instruction one would receive from a piano teacher.

Part I covers what you should look for in a keyboard for those without a piano, how to navigate, name, and memorize the keys of a piano, what the pedals of a piano do, and provides some basic finger exercises and posture recommendations.

Part II covers the basics of reading music, including both treble and bass clefs, note values, accidentals, key signatures, and time signatures.

Part IIb --> [link]

I have several years' formal classical training in piano and musical theory under the Royal Conservatory of Music, although I have not completed my ARCT (I had to focus on getting my B.Sc. instead). However, I'm interested in teaching music at beginning and intermediate levels, and have a little teaching experience.

Please let me know if you spot any errors or points needing clarification, or if you have any additional questions Feedback is appreciated!
