🎉 This intermediate small group piano class is for learners who are interested in playing the piano with both hands at the same time and learning to read music. Pre-requisite for enrolling in this Level H class is Piano Music Class Level G proficiency or a message to Mrs. Pauli describing previous experience, please. 

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 or keyboard in lessons or classes for 18+ months.

🎶We have a wonderful opportunity to have that "It's Music Day" feeling! 🎶
Every week, learners will recieve instruciton on a key concept in reading and understanding music as well as a new song lines to practice. Songs will be able to be practiced one hand at a time and have a more challenging two hand song options without letter hints. 

🗓️ The Piano Music Class series, PMC Level A (Primer)  through PMC Level J, runs by seasonal term. 
Piano Music Class Series Levels A - F are 10 week classes each over 1 term.
Piano Music Class Series Levels G - J are 20 week classes each over 2 terms.

📈 Learners can progress through the Piano Music Class Series with Mrs. Pauli for over 3 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🔥. 

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

Piano Music Class Primer
or
Piano Music Class Level A

🎹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. Here 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 is closed after 10 minutes if no learners have logged on.
