Following the first semester of studies, this semester class covers approximately the last half of the method book, Music Moves for Piano, a primer-level keyboard studies class.
Class experience
This is the second class teaching beginner piano and keyboard students from the method book, Music Moves for Piano, Book 1. Using the Music Learning Theory research of Edwin Gordon and the adaptation of those ideas to the piano by Marilyn Lowe, this method introduces students to the fundamentals of musicianship and music study that will be applicable in whatever direction the learner chooses to take their future musical studies.

Homework Offered
15-25 minutes of practice, 5-7 days a week is necessary for successful completion of this class. Every song assigned to practice will have a practice video in the classroom to help learners gain confidence and practice for success. Learners should plan to upload videos of their at-home practicing for help, support, and accountability.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessment is done through what a learner posts online of their practice and what they play in class. I will always give constructive feedback focusing on strengths and offering next level suggestions to encourage learners to continue and to go farther in what they've done.Grades Offered
The same as Part 1 of 2: Students need a weighted or touch-sensitive keyboard of at least 62 keys or a piano. Proper piano technique and positioning is important, so an adjustable bench is necessary. Required curriculum is from the Music Moves for Piano course, book 1, available at MusicMovesforPiano.com, 19.95$
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Students may need adult assistance to view and upload practice videos. They can usually follow the keyboard assignments by this point but having an adult on standby may be helpful especially in the first lessons. An at-keyboard view of the learner is very important, as it will help me assess their technique and troubleshoot any problems while learning the song. Please ensure that Zoom audio settings allow you to "use original sound," as otherwise Zoom may filter out music as background noise, interfering in our enjoyment of your learner's performance.
