Beginner Piano Class - Part 2

In this 4 week course, students will continue learning to play the piano in a fun and encouraging setting.  We will be using the Alfred Prep Course for the Young Beginner - Level A, and will expect to cover the second half of the book, although pacing of the class may be adjusted as necessary.  Students should have completed the "Beginner Piano Class for Ages 5-8" OR have a good working knowledge of playing in middle C position and C position using note values and letter names.  

Week One:
Students will learn about the musical staff, line notes, space notes, the bass clef sign, and the pitches C, D, E, F, and G in bass clef.  We will learn simple melodies using the left hand.  

Week Two:
Students will review concepts learned in lesson one and will have the option to perform a song of their choice for the class.  We will learn about the treble clef sign and the pitches C, D, E, F, and G in treble clef.  We will learn simple melodies using the right hand.

Week Three:
Students will review concepts learned so far and will again have the option to perform a song of their choice for the class.  We will learn about the grand staff and learn simple melodies using both hands playing in C position.

Week Four:  
Students will once again review and have the option to perform.  We will learn more simple melodies using both hands playing in C position.  Supplemental songs in addition to those in the book will be provided.
