Beginner Level
If you're looking for songs for your kids to learn on the piano, look no further! Let's learn songs about Valentines and the month of February by Seckman Music School! This class teaches all the songs from the book: 5 Short Songs for February by Zachary Seckman. Each week we will cover one song from the book and show learners how each song is played! (Psst, there's one week that has two songs because they're short!) With each song, there is also a coordinating coloring page students can color as start or finish each song. Songs included in the class are set in the C Major 5-Finger, D Minor 5-Finger, and G Major 5-Finger Scales so they're easy to learn! The good news is the book is included in the class, so you don't need to make two separate transactions! We're excited to see you in the class and learn these fun songs together!
Learning Goals
Play valentines-themed songs using a 5-finger scale on piano.
Identify the keys on the piano of the given 5-finger scale.
