Young Beginner Piano Class - Part 2

This is a 4-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 1, and will expect to cover the second half of the book, although pacing of the class may be adjusted as necessary.  Students should have completed "Young Beginnier Piano Class" OR have a good working knowledge of right and left hand, finger numbers, and be able to play simple quarter note melodies using the black keys on the piano.

Week One:  Students will be introduced to the musical alphabet and the white keys D and C.  We will learn about half notes and play simple melodies using only the notes D and C.

Week Two:  Students will learn the note E and the half rest.  We will play several simple melodies using only the notes C, D, and E.  

Week Three:  Students will learn the notes B and A and the whole note.  We will play simple melodies with the left hand using the notes C, B, and A and we will review the right hand songs using the notes C, D, and E.  

Week Four:  Students will learn about the whole rest and play simple melodies using A, B, and C with the left hand, and C, D, and E with the right hand.
