I will be asking students to make sure they practice three times a week for 5-10 minutes.Class Experience
This is a beginning, no experience needed, piano class. We will be using the Faber Primer Level book in class for guidance. Topics that we will cover throughout the classes are: the music alphabet, piano posture, hand posture, finger numbers, the quarter note, the half note, the whole note, the grand staff, the treble clef, and the bass clef. We will begin the class with finger exercises and a quick warm-up. We will then begin covering material that is outlined in the syllabus. As we learn songs, students will be given the opportunity to perform for each other. Week 1: Music Alphabet and Finger Numbers, Songs Page 8, 9 Week 2: Piano Posture, Songs Page 10, 11 Week 3: Quarter Note, Songs Page 12, 13 Week 4: Review the Quarter Note, Songs Page 15, 16 Week 5: Half Note, Songs Page 17, 9 Week 6: Whole Note, Song Page 20 Week 7: Review the Whole Note, Song Page 20, 21, and 23 Week 8: Review the Music Alphabet, Song Page 26, 27 Week 9: Playing with Five Fingers, Song Page 28, 29 Week 10: Rhythm Review, Song Page 30, 31 Week 11: Rhythm Review, Song Page 32, 33 Week 12: Grand Staff Learning, Song Page 36 Students will be asked to practice weekly at least three times for 5-10 minutes to help them progress on piano. This practice should include the songs that we covered in class as well as any assigned music theory work. Music theory work may include personal composition, rhythm, note searches, or a Kahoot game. A link will be provided to find a fun piano chart that works for your student, so your student can keep track of their progress. Videos of me playing the songs on the piano (via link to google drive) will also be provided so that the student is able to watch and hear how the song is suppose to be performed on the piano. **The syllabus is subject to change based on the needs of the class**
Learning Goals
Our goals are to become familiar with the piano and how to find different notes on the piano. Students will also be able to identify a quarter note, half note, and whole note.
