Course Description

In this course, you will get thorough training from the ground up with regards to rhythm and timing. I will start you off with some simple "tapping" exercises to establish your sense of rhythm, then we will spill into some simple, one-a-day, 4-measure rhythm exercises. I will start you off with quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes, which you will play with separate hands first, then both hands together.

Piano Instructor

Ayana Webb

I graduated from Rutgers University, with a B.A.S. in Music. I’ve played piano for about 17 years, and have taught for almost six years now, having taught well over 50 in-person students during my career. Outside of piano, I was also involved in some notable vocal projects, such as Jill Scott’s album “Light of the Sun”, in which I’ve been credited for background vocals. I do not teach vocal lessons at the moment.
