1-2 hours per week. Homework will be practice time in between viewed lesson video postings and a few worksheets that can be printed. A total of approximately 20 minutes, 3-5 different times during the week, should be enough to secure the information and be prepared for the next lesson. Slides from the weekly slideshow pdf may be printed at the parent's discretion. Students need to be able to view the screen while at their keyboard for recording a sample of their playing to submit to Mrs. Pauli during the week. Printed slides are great for practice time when learners are taking a break from screen-time.Assessment
✉️ At the end of the lessons, an email will be sent to the learner with the recommendation for repeating the current class for mastery or moving on to the next class for more challenging material if the learner has submitted videos to Mrs. Pauli for feedback.Class Experience
Beginner Level
🎉 This self-paced piano class is lessons #5-14 for beginner piano students who are interested in continuing to playing piano. Pre-requisite of Level A Self-paced class, live Piano Music Class, or similar experience. 🎹 Learners need to have a piano or keyboard while viewing the videos to play along. 💻 Learners will need to be able to see their screen to view the music while playing on their instrument. No book purchases will be necessary in this class. All music has been arranged by Mrs. Pauli and will be provided and printable. A 3-ring binder with plastic page protectors is a great way to keep songs organized. 🎹Practicing 3-5 times between lessons is recommended as this class was designed to take 10 weeks to master the material.💥 Although, you may be able to understand the material quicker than one lesson per week, your fingers need the practice time to get flexible, comfortable, and stronger in order to advance to the next level. 💥 ⏳Guided practice videos between 12-15 minutes are provided to use 3-5 times between lessons. 👩🏫 Teacher feedback is available for the first 10 weeks whether you pay weekly and receive access to one lesson per week or if you pay in full and gain immediate access to the entire course. You will continue to have access to the class for up to one year on your own. 🔠 If your learner is looking for a live version of the late beginner Level B class, I recommend the small group class Piano Music Class Level B. 🎶 Self-paced classes are available for Level A - Level C. 🎶 Piano Music Class Level D - Level J are offered as live classes only at this time. 📈 Learners can progress through the Piano Music Class Series with Mrs. Pauli for over 3 years of consistent piano class material. At the end of the Series, learners should have the ability to read all sheet music, play beautiful pieces on piano, and 🔥have experienced the benefits of regular effort and practice in a skill🔥. ⬇️**Please read the class syllabus for the weekly breakdown of lesson material and song choices.** Open each lesson to view the instruction material specifics.
Learning Goals
🎞Learners also experience recording themselves in a video format to submit to Mrs. Pauli for feedback each week.🎶Learners will be taught a new song each lesson.

Supply List
🎹 Access to a piano or keyboard during lesson where the learners elbows are the same height as the keys. 🔥 Keyboards on tables are often too high (chest or shoulder height) which can harm wrists and hinder movement 🔥. Stand at the keyboard, find a tall chair, use a cushion, or use a keyboard stand to make the keys at the proper level. 💻Students need to be able to see the screen where the music will be shown in a slideshow during the video lessons while they are sitting at their piano. 🎼 Learners will get access to a class slideshow pdf each lesson with the songs and homework worksheets for practicing. A 3-ring binder and plastic page protectors may help you keep the printed music sheets organized. 📝 Learners may like having paper and pencil.
