Informal assessment and regular communication with students to help them continue to progress.Class Experience
I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes. This is an extension class for Introduction to my Beginner Piano Class and More Fun Songs for Piano #1 class. There will be more fun songs to learn and play. Plus, we will add more left hand parts to our songs. Students will learn to play chords in the left hand, while playing a melody in the right hand. We will focus on steady beat, tempo, rhythms and harmony. The students will be able to choose from choices of songs that they want to learn, including super-hero themes, classical pieces and more popular music. We will also do some improvising , where the students can get creative. I believe that music is a great way to boost a child's self esteem and confidence. Music has also been proven to increase the Math and Language scores of the students that are learning an instrument.
