1 hour per week. Learners are encouraged to practice each week's song in between sections.Class Experience
This is a weekly, ongoing class for a small group of piano students who have completed Part 1 or have a little piano experience and want to continue to develop their piano skills. Students should already know the letter names of notes on the keyboard and on the treble clef staff, and recognize quarter notes, half notes, whole notes, and eighth notes. I use a lot of visuals and engaging activities where each student gets to participate multiple times during each class. Learners may use a piano or electric keyboard. Students will learn a different song each week, as well as focus on different musical concepts. After each lesson I will post practice slides and a practice video for ongoing learning. There will be a cycle of 12 "episodes," each featuring a new song. Students may join at any point in the series as the basic concepts will be reinforced throughout.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
I will occasionally post a video link in the classroom--these links will open in Outschool so the student does not need to go to an outside source. I create the practice slides using Google Slides and Canva, but the students will only have to open the link.
Supply List
Students should have a piano or electric keyboard during the lesson. After each lesson, I will supply practice slides which will include practice videos.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
