This class will give a nice introduction to the process of learning to play the piano.
I've created lots of materials for beginning students, and I will provide the materials for this class (no extra charge).

Grateful for an amazing first experience!! Super impressed with Mrs. Cashin's ability to effortlessly navigate teaching young piano learners of all levels— VIRTUALLY. Our 8 year old joined with no experience, and was welcomed with open arms and gentle, expert guidance. We can see her progressing nicely here. Thank you and looking forward to future lessons!

Beverly did a great job! She sent a link to pdfs ahead of time that we use in the class. She taught us how to play songs by talking and demonstrating it. We were able to see her keyboard, which helped immensely. We had breakout sessions for she helped us individually as well. Great class!

Good class, was very pleased that I managed to play something with grace notes this week.

Class: Introduction to Rhythm and Counting
I love this class. I'm pretty good at imitating rhythms when I hear them but I need to learn how to work out a rhythm from a score when I haven't heard the piece played out loud and this class exposes me to lots of rhythms.
Heidi S. on January 29, 2021
Class: Introduction to Rhythm and Counting
I love Beverly's compositions that she uses for the classes. I seem to learn better by learning songs rather than exercises so I feel like I'm picking up new concepts quickly.
Heidi on January 19, 2021
Class: Adult Beginners 2 - Piano for Younger and Older Adults
Beverly is excellent at chose pieces that cater to the skill levels of the class. There's always at least one that I'm pretty sure I can get the hang of.
Heidi on January 19, 2021
Class: Introduction to Rhythm and Counting
I'm pretty good at imitating rhythms if I hear them out loud but I'm not as good at figuring out complex rhythms on paper scores alone so this class is important to me for that reason.
Heidi on January 19, 2021
Class: Intermediate Piano for Adults with Beverly Cashin
I really loved one of the pieces in today's class. It was a very magical sounding song. Also learned that I'm sitting too close to the piano so I'm trying not to do that in future.

I always enjoy this class, Beverly is an amazing teacher and with her help I have mastered the song I was working on. Now to find another one for next week.

Thanks for working with Noah even though we had trouble logging in. We are new to Piano Pass and Lesson Face, so we are still learning how it works.

Brilliant as always, I like the fact Beverly pitches her classes at two levels so if something looks too daunting then there's something else to work with.

My first class on the Piano Pass, enjoyed it and found it informative, look forward to attending more classes.

Hello! I've been playing and teaching for several decades, and I can show you how to have fun with the piano. If you're a beginner, I can take you right from step one and have you playing familiar songs by the 1st or 2nd lesson. If you already have some experience, I can add to it.
I've been playing and studying piano since age 7 (long time). I began with traditional classical studies, and later added jazz and rock, and chord theory. I earned my degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston in the late 1980's, and began teaching in the early 90's. I perform professionally and compose music for students and others.
