Lesson transcript:
Welcome to the Rockschool Piano Method with MusicGurus! In this course, you'll learn the foundations for becoming a confident musician. We'll start with the basics: understanding your instrument, correct sitting posture, and finger positioning. Next, we'll explore keyboard geography and note recognition, followed by an introduction to reading music. You'll learn each concept at your own pace, with interactive sheet music, backing tracks, and exercises to guide you along. Don't worry if this sounds daunting—take it slow, and enjoy each step!
