Piano Level 1, Part 2

This course consists of 6 "traditional style" piano lessons based on a downloadable piano book focusing on the right and left hand G position. This course is a continuation of a previous course which focused on C position. Learners will identify notes on the staff, note names, and note duration as they continue building their music reading skills. Learners will be presented with visuals of the songs as well as a keyboard visual to facilitate understanding throughout the lesson. During each class, learners will review previous music terms and songs, learn new songs and skills, and demonstrate good piano playing technique. Learners will learn up to 10 songs, complete 2 activity sheets and participate in games throughout this course. Learners should practice between classes to improve their skills. 

Throughout this course learners will review basic rhythms and C position. Learners will play songs in G position and demonstrate concepts such as triple time and tied notes.

While it is not required, individual playing will help learners receive positive feedback to facilitate progress. Learners are encouraged to respond positively when others play to facilitate a safe performance space.

Arranging your device to show your hands, keeping your video on during class and practicing between classes will optimize learning. Please ensure that "original sound for musicians" is "on" so that Zoom does not suppress the piano as noise.

Video demonstrations and other resources may be posted to the classroom to assist with practice between lessons.
