Class Experience

This class should follow my class #6. In this ongoing piano lesson class students will pick up where we left off in class #6. I will add music and homework for them to complete weekly.  This class will teach music theory, technique, as well as some ear training.  Theory that may be taught and reviewed - the value of notes, ex. whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, etc. Time signatures - what are they?  How do they work?  Why are they different?  Dynamic signs, slurs, ties, scales - major and minor, crescendos, fermatas, sharps, flats, naturals, chords, etc. 
For ear training students may learn how to differentiate between minor and major tones, how to hear a complete scale, learn to tell by hearing if a note is stepping, skipping, repeating. 
Some weeks songs will be taught, some weeks exercises will be learned.  Scales and arpeggios, chords - harmonic and melodic, minor and major will be taught at the appropriate times. 
Again, this class begins where #6 ended, so I suggest taking #6 before starting this class.  I do ask for students to spend around half an hour each day practicing outside the classroom. This will help build their skills so much faster and cement the things I teach each week.   Students MUST have a piano or keyboard to make this class worthwhile.  Students will need to print the work assigned as I post.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their piano playing skills, musical theory and ear for music.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Hannah and I'm so happy you stopped by my profile!  I am currently a homeschooling mom, and have been a music teacher for half my life (16 years - you do the math;).  

Music has the ability to strengthen the connection beween the body and the brain to help them work together as a team, which is why I incorporate music into a lot of my classes.
The more pathways a student uses for learning something new, the more pathways they have for retrieval of the information. Because of this, I utilize multisensory techniques.

My teaching style is "I tell you, you tell me, you show me". 
As per one of my favorite quotes - "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." 

I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate learners.  My classes are thorough and time efficient, but I also work at the students pace to be sure they are grasping the concepts as we move along.
