Course Description

Piano Basics: Your First 30 Days at the Keyboard is a practical beginner course designed to help you start playing piano with confidence, even if you have never read music before. In this Instruments and Vocal course within the Piano subcategory, you will build solid habits from the first session so your practice feels clear, comfortable, and rewarding.

You will begin by setting up correctly at the keyboard, refining posture, bench height, and relaxed hand shape so your fingers can move freely and your sound stays controlled. From there, you will learn to navigate the keys using black key groups and note names, then apply finger numbers and easy hand placement to play without tension. As your control improves, you will shape tone with touch, dynamics, and timing so your playing sounds musical from day one.

Progressive reading skills are introduced in a way that supports real playing, not memorization. You will recognize treble clef and bass clef landmarks, connect them to the keyboard, and start reading simple rhythms using whole, half, and quarter notes with rests. You will play right hand melodies, then add the left hand with single notes and simple bass patterns, developing coordination and independence without unnecessary complexity.

To bring everything together, you will use simple chord shapes, including two note and three note positions, to support melodies and create fuller sounding pieces. By the end, you will be able to combine reading, rhythm, and both hands to perform complete beginner piano pieces that feel like real music, while also gaining a practice routine you can keep building on.
