Class Experience

Beginner Level

This one-time piano class is for students who are interested in an introduction to piano. No prior experience is necessary. Having a piano or keyboard at hand during class will allow students to play along with Mrs. Pauli. Learners will need to be able to see their screen to view the music while playing on their instrument.

Students are often very curious about the piano and playing music. The goal is to engage students and interact with learners to make piano fun. Teaching fingers to learn new skills, like playing individual notes, takes practice, and my goal is to give students the opportunity to take enough knowledge from this introduction to have something to practice on their own. I will provide the slideshow to learners at the end of class so they continue to practice the songs on their own. The follow-up class is the First 4 Piano Lessons, Summer Piano Camp, or Piano Music Class 1 depending on aptitude and previous musical experience.

There will not be any assigned homework for this class.

Access to a piano or keyboard during lesson. 
{A substitution would be to print out a keyboard image from clip-art or draw one on paper or a dry erase board. I have had students use an app on a tablet or phone.} 

Students need to be able to see the classroom screen where the music will be shown in a slideshow while they are sitting at their piano.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Google Slides

There is no assessment for this class.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
