Adventures Up and Down the Piano (No Prior Experience Required)
What's included
1 live meeting
25 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class, students who are new to the keyboard will play various seek-and-find games to get to know their way around the piano. We will learn the musical ideas of 'high' and 'low', how to find sets of 2 and 3 black keys, and how to find the white key notes D and C (more if time allows). This is a great class for kids who are thinking about starting the piano, or just wanting to learn more about it. The teacher will check students' work by sight and sounds to ensure they're understanding the concepts. Students should already know the alphabet letters in order from A to G, but no reading skill is required. A piano or keyboard is needed for this class. It is helpful if the keyboard is full size, not miniature keys. No printed music is needed for the class.

Supply List

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, My name is Mrs. VW.
I teach music and other classes on Outschool.
I have experience teaching orchestra, band, choir and general music in school classrooms and for private groups such as home school and fine arts organizations. I have over 15 years of experience teaching private instrument lessons, mainly string instruments and piano.
Our world is full of beauty and I love helping others tune in to notice, create and share beautiful things.
When I'm not teaching or creating music, I enjoy reading and learning new things!
Note:
If you are thinking of purchasing a string instrument in preparation for a class, you are welcome to message me about good quality but still affordable recommendations. Buying a too-cheap and poorly made 'violin shaped object' off Amazon or other sellers can result in frustrations with an instrument that breaks, is hard to tune, hard to play etc.
