In this piano class, students will continue to build on the basic music skills they already have in order to play new songs.  They will continue to review basics such as notes and values, information about music symbols and signs, staccato and legato playing, etc.  Students will also have the opportunity to complete extra activities to help master their music skills. 

I am a retired public school music teacher.  I graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC with a  Bachelors of Music Education.  I have taught music to all grades in the public school system, but spent most of time in elementary and middle school music. I have taught private piano lessons for many years in my home to all ages, ranging from 5 years old to adults.  I have taught online for more than  5 years and enjoy this a great deal!  I am also certified in Reading and ESL and enjoy working with all ages of students. 

Homework Offered
Each week, students will receive a list of activities to be completed (including watching videos teaching them the new music for that week).  Students should spend time completing these activities as well as practicing the new songs learned each week.  
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There is no formal assessment; however, students will be assessed through the uploads in the Outschool classroom.  Uploading these activities, pictures, and videos help me to assess their understanding of the material. 
Grades Offered

Students will need to purchase the Faber Piano Adventures Primer Level Performance book:

Videos that have been uploaded to Youtube as unlisted videos will be used in classes. These videos have been embedded into the Outschool classroom so that students will not need to access them outside of the classroom.
