WHAT MATERIALS DO I NEED?
I assign a book from Faber Piano Adventures depending on your skill set. You will need to have an instrument available for practicing from the first lesson. The best options are an acoustic (real) piano or 88-key weighted-action digital piano. If you are not ready to purchase an instrument, most piano stores have rental options. If you have the space, there are usually grand and upright pianos for free on Facebook Marketplace. You most likely would have to transport the piano yourself. There are also discounted keyboards on Marketplace.
