This course consists of 6 "traditional style" piano lessons based on a downloadable piano book. Before enrolling in this course, learners should have completed Primer Levels 1 and 2 or have prior knowledge and experience with piano. This course will focus on right hand and left hand C positions. Learners will identify notes on the staff, note names, and note duration as they learn to read music. Learners will learn at least 5 songs and review related music terms and symbols. Learners should practice between classes to improve their skills. 

It would be helpful if the learner has basic reading skills and the ability to wait and listen while other learners perform as much learning also comes from listening. While it is not required, individual playing will be optional throughout this course. Arranging your device to show your hands, keeping your video on during class and practicing between classes will optimize learning .

Each class follows the basic outline below:
	1. Opening - Welcome
	2. Review - Review skills and music terms by playing warm-up songs and games
	3. Lesson - Learn new songs, Learn related music terms and symbols, Start activity sheets 
	4. Closing - Discuss practice assignments for the next class, Learners play additional songs for class as time allows

Throughout the lesson learners will be presented with visuals on the screen and a view of the teacher's piano. Learners will be guided through learning each song as they listen, repeat and put the song together through small steps. Learners will be given many opportunities to play for the class during the lesson.

Videos of songs and other resources will be posted on the Outschool classroom each week to assist with practice between classes.
