Class Experience

In this class, you will learn about one of classical music's most influential pianist-composers: Frederic Chopin. We will also explore another famous pianist-composer from the Romantic era: the Hungarian Franz Liszt.

Class will feature a mixture of teacher lecture, listening examples, class discussion, question and answer sessions, and study guide handouts (including a playlist of listening suggestions of other works by Chopin). Class time will generally be broken down into the following segments with listening examples interspersed:
20 minutes - Composer Life and Career
10 minutes - Musical/Stylistic Characteristics of the Time Period
20 minutes - Specific Works by the Composer that Exemplifies the Musical/Stylistic Time Period Characteristics
10 minutes - Bonus Composer or Topic!

Students will have multiple opportunities to participate in class discussion by responding to questions and listening examples verbally or through chat. 

No prior experience or knowledge is needed!

Learning Goals

Students will learn about the life and musical career of Frederic Chopin, one of the most influential pianist-composers of the Romantic Era. Additionally, students will briefly explore the musical contributions of Franz Liszt.

    Teacher expertise and credentials
    Hi! My name is Chris Landi. I currently teach general music to students in preschool through 4th grade. I also have experience teaching instrumental music to students in 4th grade through 12th grade, particularly concert band, jazz band, and marching band. I currently teach private percussion and piano lessons. I love to listen to, compose, and perform music on a regular basis. I have a passion for sharing my love of music with people of all ages! 
    
    On Outschool, I am looking to teach music classes related to learning an instrument, learning how to read music, learning the basics of music theory, and exploring the evolution of classical music since antiquity!
    
    I strongly believe that the teaching-learning process should be a collaborative one between teacher and student. As a teacher, I see myself as a guide to help a student navigate their own learning journey. Using a variety of teaching philosophies and instructional strategies/materials is just one way I serve as a facilitator for students' learning. I very much seek to incorporate students' interests and questions into the teaching-learning process. I can't wait to get started teaching you!
    
    Other hobbies include reading, swimming, running, photography, and rooting for Philadelphia sports teams (Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers)!!
