THIS IS A SELF-PACED CLASS. There will be no live meetings. What sets this format apart from my live version of this class? Instead of a 30 minute live class shared with 6 others, students will be able to watch and play along with very detailed teaching videos that they can pause and rewind at any time.  They will practice their homework assignments and then post video of their pieces in the classroom for feedback and encouragement.
In this class students will continue their piano playing journey from Part C or any other Primer piano book in a fun and playful way that will include games, songs and movement to reinforce the concepts learned!  They will receive instruction from a teacher who is experienced, joyful, kind and encouraging and has specialized in teaching young learners for over 20 years. While completion of Playful Piano Journey Flex Class part C is highly recommended, students who have completed most of a piano primer book or My First Piano Adventure level C and have some experience reading the notes on the staff in C position will have no trouble joining in and continuing their piano journey. 

Students will continue to learn:
* Position at the piano and posture and good technique
* Keyboard Geography and how to find and recognize the keys on the piano quickly and easily
* Finger numbers and how they relate to playing on the piano and finding the correct notes
* Develop reading confidence from Bass C to Treble G
* Many MORE songs on the grand staff with MORE hands together playing
* Patterns and melody for ear training

Each lesson will include time spent at the piano learning and playing as well as some fun movement and singing activities to reinforce concepts and keep learners engaged.  
Each week by Monday 9pm MST, I will post a link to that week's lesson video or videos in the classroom along with the worksheets and home assignment due by the following Sunday.  These videos will be a private link. Each video will be about 20-30 minutes long.
Homework can either be sent through the communication function of Outschool (email) or posted on the classroom page.
Communication will be done through the Outschool classroom.  I will check in with each student during the week to check on progress of the homework and address any questions. Students are encouraged to participate in classroom chat and encourage each other on completion of homework.
A robust learning experience will be provided through OPTIONAL collaborative learning projects like scavenger hunt games and bingo games and composing to re-enforce learning and build community. In addition, students will have the option to collaborate together on a virtual video recital to finish the term.
Each student is encouraged to message me (through the Outschool classroom) anytime they have any questions or thoughts about the class.
Please message me before the start of class if you have any questions. 

Students should have a piano or a minimum 61 key keyboard to learn and practice on and small amount of daily practice is recommended for progression.  Students will need to order a book for this class (Wunderkeys Primer 3 book off of Amazon) to follow along in as we will be reading on the grand staff but many other bonus digital downloads created by the teacher will be included too!
