Piano Level 1 - Part 3

This course consists of 6 "traditional-style" piano lessons based on the book Faber Piano Adventures Level 1.  Each learner will need a copy of this book for the class. Throughout this course learners will focus on intervals. 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 songs and terms, learn new songs, and demonstrate good piano playing technique. Learners will learn up to 8 songs throughout this course. 

Learners should practice between classes to improve their skills and prepare for class. Learners will be given a "Piano Progress Chart" they may use to keep track of practicing.

Music theory in this course includes intervals.

This course is designed to follow level 1, part 2 instruction. Learners should know how to count music with quarter notes, half notes, dotted half notes, whole notes and quarter rests. Learners should be able to name some notes on the staff and play songs with 2 hands.

Listed below is a concept outline for the course. The pacing of this course may be adjusted as needed.

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.

Learners will be given a link to a practice page that is just for their class. The link is on my website and will may include video demonstrations of the songs recorded by the teacher and play along audio.
