In Piano Party: a Summer Camp Intro to Piano, students will learn the basics of piano using games, activities, and group collaboration! Students will learn the finger numbers for the left and right hand, perform songs using both the black and white keys, and improvise their own short songs. The class will be highly interactive and collaborative. Each week will include a short introduction of the topic for the day, a short performance from each student, and a game.
