In this level of Mayron Cole method piano classes, student learning from level 1A will be reviewed and reinforced, as learners expand their knowledge and repertoire through original and some familiar songs, theory practice and games. Level 1A is not a required pre-requisite class. If your learner is familiar with quarter note, half note, whole note and two-eighth note rhythms, can read the staff notes Middle C, D, E, and F, and can locate those keys on the piano, they will be able to participate in this class. Level 1C will be offered after the completion of this course. Class schedule is as follows: Lesson 1: Learners will play three songs, and learn the note G, and D. C. al fine. Lesson 2: Learners will learn one new song and learn review all previously learned notes and sharps/flats. Lesson 3: Learners will play two songs and learn to play using both hands, reading the notes C, D, E, F, G, and introduce fingerings and ritardando. Lesson 4: Learners will play two songs and learn bass clef B, time signatures and successive counting. Lesson 5: Learners will play three songs and learn bass clef A, and the concept of accents. Lesson 6: Learners will play two songs, reading the notes A, B, Bb (bass clef) C and D (treble clef). Lesson 7: Learners will play two songs, reviewing the notes A, B, C (bass clef), C, D, E, F (treble clef). Lesson 8: Learners will play one (longer) song, reviewing all notes taught previously. Lesson 9: Learners will play one song, and learn about staccato, crossovers, tuck unders and sustained notes. Lesson 10: Learners will select some of their favorite songs to perform for the class. Bring your favorite snacks and be ready to shine!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everybody! I take pride and great joy in teaching music to students in preschool, Kindergarten and lower elementary grades. I love to focus on music and movement in my classes, as well as instrument play. I firmly believe that music is innately in every child (and grownup!) and that music is most easily learned through movement and hands-on play with all kinds of instruments. Most recently, my main focus is teaching music at the preschool-2nd grade levels, but have also taught middle school and beginning band, middle school choir, high school choir, and private piano, trumpet and voice lessons.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Northern State University, Aberdeen SD. In my time there I double majored in Vocal and Instrumental music, playing the trumpet, piano, singing and acting my way through school. I am also a certified Musikgarten teacher. I have continued to learn ever since that time, not only in the classroom, but from my students over the years.
I am pleased to say that I still play my trumpet in a community band in my town. I've played in the Centrury College Community Band since 2006, and since that time have had three children and we also have our own Springer Doodle boy who is the light of all of our lives! The life of this musician would not be complete without playing handbells, which I am privileged to do at church on the weekends.Reviews
