Holiday Piano Songs are supplemental classes for the Piano Music Class series. Green note Intermediate Holiday Piano Songs classes are for players who can play with both hands at the same time. Songs will have two hand versions with the right hand melody available to be played alone for family performances. Songs will have some note hints. A slideshow with the sheet music will be provided by email to each learner after class for practicing. This is a one time class for the song Shchedryk. If your learner is not in the Piano Music Class series, please contact Mrs. Pauli for placement information to make sure your student enrolls in the best Holiday Piano Songs class for their level.

Learning Goals
In class, learners will start with a warm-up opportunity to practice playing a practiced song in front of an audience. We will then play a game of Bass Clef BINGO to refresh naming notes for left hand. We will complete class by working on the song Shchedryk. Learners must be able to play on their keyboard and view the music on the screen share at the same time during class.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class will use a Google Slideshow for the piano music that can be printed from for practicing outside of class and performing at holiday gatherings.
Supply List
Learners will need to be able to view their screen during class as this is where the new music will be displayed and taught. Learners will get access to a class slideshow after class with the songs and instructions updated weekly for practicing. Learners will need a keyboard or piano and paper and pencil.
