For Parents

Parents can use the Student Lessons on this website to train their children.  But there is some work the parent will need to do in advance of sitting with the child during the piano lesson.  This section is designed to enable you, the parent, to help your child use this site effectively.

Important posts on helping the parent are linked below.  If ready to start lessons with your child, please use the Student Lessons page to begin. Each lesson has brief instructions so you can know how to support your child during and after their video lesson.

Mrs. Curwen starts all students with the Preliminary Lessons, followed by 1st Step, 2nd Step, and eventually through 6th Step. All preliminary lessons are now available in video format with 1st Step Lessons for Lesson 1. At this time, no additional videos beyond these will be added to the site. If the videos have been helpful to your family, I’d love to hear your feedback and whether more would be beneficial to your family.

If you are interested in teaching the preliminary lessons yourself without videos, click here to view written instructions.
