This is a 6-week course designed specifically for the younger beginning piano student. We will continue following the adventures of Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear to learn keyboard basics in a fun and encouraging setting. We will be using the Music For Little Mozarts Music Lesson Book AND Recital Books, Level4, and will expect to cover about the second half of the book, although pacing of the class may be adjusted as necessary. Students should have completed "Young Beginner Piano Class - part 9 " OR be at a comparable level of playing. I will be happy to set up a one-time lesson to evaluate your child's readiness for this class! Week One: We will begin learning to play in G position. Students will learn to play treble G with finger one and learn treble A and treble B. Week Two: We will learn G position for left hand. Students will learn to play low G, A, and B. Week Three: We will learn the remaining treble clef notes for G position Week Four: We will learn the remaining bass clef notes for G position. Week Five: We will learn the flat sign. We will play songs in G position with Bb and songs in Middle C position with Eb. Week Six: We will learn the sharp sign. We will play songs in all three positions using F#, D#, and C#.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to play with correct technique and continue learning songs of increasing difficulty.

Hello! I am so excited to teach piano classes on Outschool! I have been playing piano most of my life and I really love teaching beginners. It is so important to learn the fundamentals like correct hand position, posture, and note reading from the very beginning, and these are some of the things that I really focus on in class. I have taught many students of all ages how to play the piano. I have also taught high school and jr. high school choir and jr. high school band in the San Antonio, Texas area. I have been an accompanist for many groups, including The Children's Chorus of San Antonio, and I served as a member of the Fifth United States Army Band at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I look forward to working with your child!
