初中級ピアノ - 少人数グループクラス - レベル Q

Please note: This class picks up where Early Intermediate Piano Level P leaves off. Prospective students should be familiar with major and minor triads/scales and one-octave arpeggios. Sight reading music is essential to this class so prospective students should be comfortable with reading music in the Level 4 Piano Adventures series (material from Level P). In this class, students will explore expressiveness in music while exploring chord inversions, two octave scales & arpeggios dotted eighth to sixteenth notes and discovering the stylistic traits of Edvard Grieg and Scott Joplin. 

Please note: We will be using Piano Adventures Lesson Book Level 4 (2nd Edition) for this class. It is a required text for the class.
