Campamento divertido: aprender a tocar el piano es divertido

Learning Piano is Fun.  This is an easy and fun music class.  We will learn how to play some children songs, and play them using piano/electric keyboards.  I will also cover the "math magic" from the piano.  Learners will learn the basic piano theory, like notes and the note values.  This class is taught in English, but I will cover some Chinese vocabularies in the class.  We will sing the songs together in Chinese and/or English and learn how to sing "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, do".  Learners do not need any music background.  This is an intro piano class combining a little math and Chinese.  Our main goal is to learn and have fun together.  A piano or keyboard is needed.  However, if learners don't have piano/electric keyboards, they may still join the class for the first class.  Note:  Please email me in advance about the fact you don't have a keyboard/piano.

Sample Topics:
Week I a: introduction of white keys and black keys on the piano; counting and adding the total numbers of keys on learners' keyboards, learning some Chinese vocabularies, the music alphabet, CDE, and starting to sing our song #1 (新年好)，part 1, practicing right hand on piano
