Please note: This class picks up where Early Intermediate Piano Level K leaves off. This class has 6 meetings due to summer schedules. Prospective students should be familiar with 3/8 and 6/8 time signatures, the eighth note triplet rhythm, the chromatic scale, intervals of 7ths, one-octave arpeggios and the key of D major. Sight reading music is essential to this class so prospective students should be comfortable with reading music in the Level 3A Piano Adventures series (material from Level K). In this class, students will explore contrasts in music: fast passages against sonorous tonal colors and traditional harmonies mixed with contemporary sounds. Please note: We will be using Piano Adventures Lesson Book Level 3B (2nd Edition) for this class. It is a required text for the class. Week One: Prior to Class 1, please review pages 4-5 and complete exercises. We will explore the key of A natural minor and A harmonic minor. Week Two: Review A minor scales and play an up-tempo piece in the key of A minor. Week Three: Check-in on piece from week two. Begin another piece in the key of A minor that features syncopated rhythms. Bonus piece: Snowfall. Week Four: Explore the key of E Natural Minor Scale and E Harmonic minor scales and primary chords. Week Five: Play a piece in E minor featuring a theme and variations. Week Six: Review material from the previous class. Being a Beethoven piece in E Minor. Perform a piece of your choice for the class!
