Grupo de piano 1

The book is helpful, but not necessary for the first meeting. It becomes necessary for practice with week 2. 
If your learner is outside of the age range for this class, please contact the instructor. I may be setting up another session for a different age group if there is interest.
If you school is back in session before the end of the session, your learner can watch recordings and continue learning...or we may change the time of the class.

Students will learn the basics of piano and work their way through the first half of the Piano Adventures Primer Level Lesson Book in this 8 week long course. 

Students do not need any previous music experience They do need a keyboard or piano while in class and to practice assignments during the week. Every week, students will have assigned songs to practice and need to be prepared to play them all for the class. Each students may not play every song, but needs to be ready to play any song requested from the assignments. Each class is scheduled for 45 minutes, but may be slightly longer or shorter (5 minutes either way) depending on the number of students enrolled. The class will include the teacher demonstrating playing, students playing for each other/the teacher, some concepts will be taught with visuals others with games. The basic schedule will be adhered to, but may have some slight adjustments based off of student comprehension.

Each week indicates new concepts and there will be songs to practice using these concepts.

If no students are in the classroom at the beginning of class time, the teacher will wait for 10 minutes, then record a video introducing the new material. The video will be posted in the classroom.

If students need extra help, they are encouraged to register for a one-on-one tutoring session (for a small fee), which will need to be scheduled with the teacher.
