Learners will be taught a song each week. Over the term, we will cover note reading in Treble clef and Bass clef, time signatures, note values, rhythm counting, musical intervals, and dynamics with fun games and a slideshow sent to each learner with printable music and homework worksheets. ⏳Guided practice videos are provided for reviewing the material 3-5 times between classes for mastery of current material. 
Mrs. Pauli has taught piano lessons for over 25 years after earning a Bachelor's in Music from California State University, Long Beach. She has been a teacher on Outschool since April 2020. She arranges her own music from the public domain and provides it to learners.
Homework Offered
We will be progressing through songs at a pace of one song per week. Students need to practice the songs between classes to have a repertoire of many songs by the end of the semester. Recommended practice time is 15 minutes per practice, three to five times between classes and a ⏳guided practice video will be provided. If a class is missed, the recording will be available on our classroom page and the slideshow will still be emailed with the new song and homework.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Near the end of the term, an email will be sent to each learner with the recommendation for repeating the current class for mastery or moving on to the next class for more challenging material.
Grades Offered

Learners enrolling in this class should know:
The names of their piano keys A-G and how to find middle C,
Middle C hand position and regular C hand position,
Be able to play each hand alone.
Access to a piano or keyboard during lesson. 

Students need to be able to see the classroom screen where the music will be shown in a slideshow while they are sitting at their piano.

It is very important to make sure I can hear your piano and that it is not blocked by the background noise suppression through Zoom. 

**Please turn on "Original Sound for Musicians" in the Zoom audio settings before class. ** 

If you need instructions on how to enable this setting, please watch this youtube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZMRtrSsYY

Students using a desktop or laptop can adjust this setting during the meeting. However, students using a phone or tablet must enable Original Sound before entering the class or I may not be able to hear your piano. 

Learners will get access to a class slideshow in their email with the songs and homework worksheets weekly for practicing. Learners will need a keyboard or piano and may like having paper and pencil.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Google Slideshow links for each lesson are provided after class to the learner's Outschool system email. Music slides may be printed for practicing off screens. 

Any youtube videos posted on the Classroom page will be opened in a small window on Outschool. Learners will NOT be asked to go to Youtube on their own.
