Learn the 50 Learning Objectives (the LOs), learn five LOs per class, over ten lessons.
Log 100 Practice Study Hours in your music journal.
And we are going to play 50 songs together. Color My Sheet Music Collection 1st EDITION.
This website currently has 20+ songs, many more to come. This is just the beginning.
I can get any sheet music to any song in the world! Plus future editions of this book will have even more!
Each new edition will have 50 new songs or more…
You may think that is a lot of songs to learn, but once you learn to sight-read sheet music; you’ll be able to play hundreds of songs!
I will publish future works and update this book, and you are welcome it for just the cost of printing and binding.

School Tuition
Beginner Piano School Tuition is Priced on Sliding Scale
Suggested 2014 1st Grade Tuition for 10 Lessons & Book
= $50 -$300
(That’s $5- $30 a Lesson! Average Quality Piano Lessons cost $30-60/hour)
SOCIAL EXPERIMENT: Charge whatever customers want/voluntarily willing to pay.
The idea is that the service is truly valued by the customer, and they want to pay for quality services.
Cash Cost to you: as much as you can pay. Your Generosity is Greatly Appreciated.
Please make Tuition payments promptly and discreetly. So we can focus on the Music.
Also the act of paying for lessons makes students take learning piano more seriously.
So pay what you can, and pay as much as you think piano lessons are worth.
Thank you. - David, the piano teacher
