Clase de música de piano D

🎉 This small group piano class is for learners who are interested in playing the piano with both hands together and learning to read music. It follows a Level C class.

🎶Every week, learners will be given an exercise or song pages to practice and a lesson in reading music. We will learn about four composers while learning five classical songs.

Benefits of a group class over private lessons are:
⏲️ More affordable class for a longer session,
🙃 Hearing other learners around the same level making mistakes too,
🥳 Witnessing the benefits of practice done by others in their improvement,
👏 Having an audience in the next class that is not just your teacher (peers) as a reason to practice between classes.

🎹 Learners need to have a piano or keyboard during class to play along with Mrs. Pauli. 

💻 Learners will need to be able to see their screen to view the music while playing on their instrument. No book purchases will be necessary in this class. All music has been arranged by Mrs. Pauli and will be provided and printable after class. A 3-ring binder with plastic page protectors is a great way to keep songs organized. 

🎼This class is a fun piano class for students who have been playing piano for about 9 months.

🔠 If your student is an absolute beginner, I recommend one of the Introductory courses:

Piano Music Class Level A - 50 minute class with music reading instruction

or 
Self-Paced Piano Lessons Level A - 4 week pre-recorded class with email interaction

🗓️ The Piano Music Class series, PMC Level A (Primer) through PMC Level J are recurring classes designed so your learner can stay at the appropriate level until they are ready to graduate to the next level.

📈 Learners can progress through the Piano Music Class Series with Mrs. Pauli for over 4 years of consistent piano class material. At the end of the Series, learners should have the ability to read all sheet music, play beautiful pieces on piano, and 🔥have experienced the benefits of regular effort and practice in a skill🔥. 

🎹Practicing between classes is highly recommended and would be necessary for continuous progression through levels of the Piano Music Class series as the material increases in difficulty for each level. 

✅Please schedule your practice times as part of your commitment to piano classes in order to progress through the music at an enjoyable rate. Studies have shown that piano students who practice between lessons pursue music longer and have a better experience in lessons. This is an article from Steinway & Sons about the benefits of practicing piano: https://www.steinway.com/news/features/the-benefits-of-playing-piano.

Outschool's no-show policy is that class will be closed after 10 minutes if no learners have logged on.
