Class Experience

Welcome to the class demo to try group piano classes with me, Mrs. Pauli! I am looking forward to meeting you!

In our one-time class, we will cover the following:
- A welcome to the learners asking what keyboard or piano they will be playing on and if they have any previous experience in music
- Putting right and left hands on the keys and playing in C position
- Listen to some examples of Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced piano songs played by Mrs. Pauli
- Learn about the differences between piano group classes and piano 1:1 lessons. 

If learners are able to demonstrate previous experience, they can receive a recommendation of which group Piano Music Class level in the series to join from First 4 Piano Lessons (Part A) to Piano Music Class 1 (Part B) through Piano Music Class 8 (Part I).

Learning Goals

Students will have the opportunity to learn C position on the piano if they are absolute beginners. They will learn the difference between group piano classes and private 1:1 lessons. If learners have previous experience, they can demonstrate their knowledge to get the correct placement in the Piano Music Class series.

Parental Guidance
Google slides will be screenshared to show the hand positions as a visual aid for students.
Supply List
There are no books to purchase for my piano classes. I have created a curriculum of music from very begginer music reading and songs for each hand alone through advanced intermediate piano pieces such as Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart. Please be sure that your learner can see the screen while at the keys of their piano/keyboard. 

Music is provided by slideshow share during class and emailed to the learner immediately after class for printing or viewing on screens while practicing. There are over 120 piano lessons worth of material in Mrs. Pauli's Piano Music Class Curriculum. There are also opportunities to enroll in a group class each term.
