Piano Primers 2

This is a beginning piano class that is the next step after Primers I.  Previous Primer I class enrollment is needed to take this class.  We cover the following topics in class: the grand staff, bass clef, note names and how to find them, and rests.  We begin to learn to read music in this class.  We will be identifying notes on both the treble clef and bass clef staves.  

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.

The syllabus for this course is as follows:
Week 1: Bass clef F, pages 41 and 42
Week 2: Steps on the Grand Staff, pages 43 and 44
Week 3: Learn Bass B, pages 45, 46 and 47

*The syllabus is subject to change based on the needs of the class.*

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, Kahoot game, and note searches.  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.
