Class Experience

This introduction to music theory course is perfect for students who are just starting to play music, are struggling to read music, or interested in learning more about how music is written. No prior musical experience is needed. Lessons will be presented using a piano keyboard as reference, however students do not need to know how to play to complete the class. Depending on the topic, most classes end up being 30 mins of slides and group work, then 15 mins of a relevant Kahoot for review. 

Week 1: Staff, Clefs, and Pitch
 - We'll discuss what makes up a staff, how clefs are used, and how where notes are placed on the staff affect pitch

Week 2: Note Values, Measures, and Time Signatures
 - We'll discuss how different note vales affect rhythm, what makes up a measure, and how time signatures affect rhythm

Week 3: Time Signatures and Note Values Continued 
 
Week 4: Mid-Class Review
 - This class will be used to answer any student questions, and review any areas of concern so far.

Week 5: Note Values Continued
 - We'll introduce Eighth Note and Dotted Quarter note rhythms. We'll also take a look at repeat signs.

Week 6: Dynamics, Tempo Marks, and Articulations
 
Week 7: Flats, Sharps, and Naturals

Week 8: Final Review and Preview of Next Course
