Hello! 

Whether this is your child's first time ever sitting at the piano, or your child has been tinkering on the piano by ear, we are starting from the very beginning! I expect these student's to not be able to read music or know the finger numbers associated with a specific hand position. We will also be learning note names through the physical piano/keyboard and online games. Each student will need to purchase a copy of Carol Matz level 1A to use as the lesson book.

I have added several free PDF worksheets and songs that we will use in each lesson. For copyright reasons, each student must have their own copy of the lesson book. I break up the lesson to incorporate playing the piano, playing games, and practicing ear training. Here is a break through over what will be covered in the first 4 lessons:

Lesson 1
-Proper positioning at the piano
-Keeping a steady beat
-Quarter Note
-Playing the Black Keys
-Assigned songs to practice

Lesson 2
-Bar Lines and Measures
-The Half Note and The Whole Note
-Dynamics Piano and Forte
-Assigned songs to practice

Lesson 3

-Playing notes CDEFGAB 
-Dynamic Mezzo Forte
-Assigned songs to practice

Lesson 4
-Theory of a Step, and Second Endings

Each lesson will follow a specific lesson plan to ensure that all group members are able to continue on to Group Lessons Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 comfortably.
