Children love music! They naturally and instinctively understand so much more than we realize. We can help them to use this understanding and apply it to different intentions. Why is a high pitch good for representing a bird? How can we use tempo to show the differences between a snail and a beetle?  This class will explore musical elements in relation to characters, stories, ideas and moods. Plus, of course, we have many games that make the exploration even more fun!

In the Discovery Keys class, learners will get to know what the notes are, where the notes are, how to find them independently. Through games, songs, and different activities, they are given anchors to help them build their knowledge and be able to navigate a piano or keyboard.

This class will begin with a meet and greet, then we will sing a welcome/hello song.  From there, I will introduce the Musical Alphabet, and focus in on the note that we will learn to play on the piano.  Discovery Keys will use an animal to go over the notes, as well as games and listening activities to assist.  We will end class with a goodbye song.  

This class is for beginners, and is the introductory class.  Once you finish this class, please enroll in the 4-week Discovery Keys Class 1. Learners can use a piano, digital keyboard, or piano app to help with learning.
