Learning Piano is Fun.  This is an easy and fun music class.  We will learn how to play some children songs, and play them using piano/electric keyboards.  I will also cover the "math magic" from the piano.  Learners will learn the basic piano theory, like notes and the note values.  This class is taught in English, but I will cover some Chinese vocabularies in the class.  We will sing the songs together in Chinese and/or English and learn how to sing "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, do".  Learners do not need any music background.  This is an intro piano class combining a little math and Chinese.  Our main goal is to learn and have fun together.  A piano or keyboard is needed.  However, if learners don't have piano/electric keyboards, they may still join the class for the first class.  Note:  Please email me in advance about the fact you don't have a keyboard/piano.

Sample Topics:
Week I a: introduction of white keys and black keys on the piano; counting and adding the total numbers of keys on learners' keyboards, learning some Chinese vocabularies, the music alphabet, CDE, and starting to sing our song #1 (新年好)，part 1, practicing right hand on piano
