This book uses animals to introduce the notes names, so we will discuss animals a bit, though letters and numbers mostly, however.   The main goal of this course is to introduce the joy of music and to build confidence that music is something the student can make!
The other goal is to cover the entire Book A.  
Students vary at their personal rates of learning when it comes to learning any language.  Music is no exception.  To some, it comes easily, to others, not so much.  We will not be bound by this syllabus, but will pay attention to the individual needs of the children at the keyboard/piano.  
Week 1:  Exploring the keyboard itself (several songs about key groups and locations on the keyboard).  p. 4, 5, 6 and 7.  
Week 2:  Review of last week and continuation in the book:  p. 8 and 9 (hi and low, loud and soft).  P. 11 - finger numbers, p. 12, right hand placement, introduce playing using the book (p.13).  
Week 3: p. 14, 15, 16.
Week 4: p. 17, 18, 19 , 20.
Week 5: p. 21 (Mary’s Lamb), review of previous weeks
Week 6.: p. 22 (Twinkle) and 23 (Ode to Joy), continued review if needed. Perform for each other.
Week 7:  Introduce LH reading and playing, p. 24, 25. Preview p. 26 for homework.  
Week 8:  p. 26, 27 (Hot Cross Buns and cold Cross Buns) 
Week 9. p. 28 (Yankee Doodle), p. 29, Introduce p. 30 Eensie Weensie Spider for homework
Week 10.: p 32-33 (Old Macdonald) and Class review, perform for each other. 
The book has more pages:  34-40 making up 4 more songs.  Hopefully, we can finish the book in 10 weeks.  Most of my previous students have made it though in 8-10 weeks. If not, the students will leave with the knowledge and understanding of how to finish the book on their own.  
  Book purchase(s) required. 

I love introducing people to the piano, and I love encouraging the joy of music.
I do not guarantee makeup lessons, though one is usually available per section.

Practicing is encouraged, but should not be forced. This class is really an introduction into the love of playing an instrument and the love of music. Practicing goals could be: practice one piece three times today, or practice every piece you have been assigned three times each day at least four days per week. 
授業以外に週あたり 0 - 1 時間の学習が期待されます
