Build Piano Skills: Music Notation & Sight Reading

Elevate your musical understanding and unleash your inner composer! 

Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and composer Elijah Fox fell in love with piano when he was a child. Now a successful professional musician with more than eighteen years of experience, he’s here to show you how to do the same! In his previous classes, Elijah covered the basic building blocks of piano playing. Now it’s time to level up with a new understanding of the music you’re playing. In this intermediate class, Elijah will take you on a deep dive into music notation and sight reading, preparing you for the next step in your journey: composition.  

Elijah’s hands-on lessons will cover:

• How to read treble and bass clef with the fluidity of a pro
• The basics of composing music, and how to notate it 
• How learning to sight-read can instantly improve your piano playing 

Plus, Elijah shares how he found freedom in sight-reading, and how learning the structure and rules helped him become an incredible improviser. If you’ve always dreamed of playing the tunes in your head, this class will guide your first step into the world of composition!

This class is geared at intermediate-beginner pianists, who are practiced in core concepts like chord progressions, scales, and arpeggios. If you need to revisit those skills, check out his first two classes. Since learning music takes time, this class is designed to complement your own self-guided practice or lessons. All you’ll need is a keyboard or piano (ideally one with a sustain pedal).
