Class Experience

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.
Learning Goals
The learner will read and play notes on the treble staff and bass staff in C and G positions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello! My name is Mrs. McArthur and I teach MUSIC! I am a Texas certified all-level music teacher with 29 years of teaching experience, 26 years in public schools and 3 years online and homeschool experience. I have taught preschool through eighth grade General Music and Choir classes. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education with an emphasis in vocal music from Oklahoma Baptist University.

I believe that every learner can make music! Learners need a variety of experiences to learn music skills, including visual, aural and kinesthetic. Given sequential steps, students can achieve well beyond the expectations. When creativity is modeled, learners discover that making mistakes improves music. Learners need opportunities to be creative with choices so they can create on their own terms and interests. By making connections to science, social studies, math and beyond, students learn that subjects don’t exist in isolation. Music is the universal language and learners deserve a chance to explore the world through a musical lens!
