My Goal: 

LEARNER: 

Hi Friends! I can't wait to journey alongside you in piano. My goal for you is to have fun, learn, and make some awesome new friends in piano. 

SONGS: 
We will continue to move through the D 5-Finger Scale, and the A 5-Finger Scale and finish with some new chords!

PRACTICE VIDEOS: 

If you need a little more help with your songs, don't worry! Each week you'll be sent special practice videos to guide you through the new songs and a performance level so you can see and play along with as well! 

LEARNER CHAT: 

Have a question? Feel free to send Ms. Diana a video or message to help you! You don't have to wait until the next week for help - Ms. Diana is here for you throughout the week as well. 

ADULT: 

The beauty of the group lesson is that it becomes an automatic accountability community! Students WANT to come back to class prepared each week and enjoy seeing other students play and learn along the way. 

This later beginner course will give students extra guided practice time as well as a focus on the theory that coincides with each unit covered. 

Due to the nature of this course involving moving into more challenging material, practice is REQUIRED. Please be prepared to assist your learner with incorporating at least 4 days a week with the ability to play through their pieces for 20-30 minutes. This time will not only build confidence but also help them as they now continue to add more advanced techniques and theories to their knowledge

This course will move into: 
D 5-Finger Scale (hand position)
A 5-Finger Scale (hand position)
Minor Chords

This course will cover the final Units 6 & 7 of the Level 2 Faber Piano Adventures Lesson and Theory Books

Class 8: 
Class Performance of their favorite pieces!
Presentation of Level 2 Part 3 completion certificates


DETAILS:
The course is structured around the concept that children learn music through immersion! 

Your child will be given the opportunity to hear me play to model how their pieces go.

We will then discuss the songs as they use "visual analysis" in understanding what is happening in the music. 
This allows the student to build their listening skills (ear training), sight reading (reading music), and creativity (applying musical knowledge to their piece!) 

Following each class, students will have a week to submit their recordings to the classroom to receive feedback from me, as the instructor. 

We will also have an interactive experience around your FREE Music Theory Book + Practice Charts! Lessons are to be uploaded to the classroom and each student will be able to encourage and celebrate one another on their practice charts and recordings through our "classroom comments" section. 

Every 4 classes, we will also have an interactive "Escape Room" to enable students to review the material we've covered as a team. Students can work through the escape room and provide their individual clue to complete the class puzzle together. 


B O N U S E S:

Practice Videos: 
Following each class, there will be practice videos and performance videos available for the learner to review the songs completed in class. This is to support the learner in their journey for extra guidance throughout the week as well as train their ear for correct notes and tempo. 

! I M P O R T A N T !

Practice videos will be available in the classroom each week for students' review of the material as well as full class recordings for missed classes. 

For our final meeting, Class 8, we have a PERFORMANCE for students to showcase the songs that they have enjoyed most! 


PRACTICE IS REQUIRED 

Due to the nature of this course involving moving into more advanced material; developing a regular practice habit weekly is important and required for your learner’s success in the course. 

Please assist your learner with incorporating at least 2 days a week with the ability to play at least 4 times through each song (about a 20-30 minute practice session). This time will not only build confidence but also help them as they incorporate new concepts learned each week!

New to the course? 
If you are switching from another teacher or series, please message me and we will discuss what the best place to start would be for your learner. 

I look forward to journeying alongside your learner through the wonderful world of music!
