Piano Essentials Beginner Course

If you are a pianist with little or no experience, you should check out this free course for beginners! This course will introduce you to the basics of reading music and playing piano. This is a very generous sampling of what Flex Lessons has to offer! 

Piano Repertoire Placement Guide

This free download includes a sampling of music from the beginner level through early advanced level using public domain scores. If you are not yet an advanced pianist, this resource will help you figure out what level of music you should be working on.

Major & Minor Pentascales

True beginners should be starting with pentascales & triads instead of regular scales! This allows students to become comfortable with five-finger positions in all keys which directly applies to piano repertoire at the beginner level.

Scales & Arpeggios in One Octave (Simplified Version)

Most scale and arpeggio books are too hard for beginners! This is why I created a simplified set of piano scores so that you can focus only on the things you absolutely need.

Scales & Arpeggios in One Octave (Expanded Version)

This is an expanded version of the previous download and includes scales and arpeggios in all keys with variations. These exercises are specifically intended to prepare students for intermediate level study.
