This course consists of 6 "traditional style" piano lessons based on the book Faber Piano Adventures Level 2A.  Each learner will need a copy of this book for the class. Throughout this course learners will focus on reading notes and interpreting music symbols. Learners will be presented with visuals of the songs as well as a keyboard visual to facilitate understanding throughout the lesson. During each class, learners will review previous songs and terms, learn new songs, and demonstrate good piano playing technique. Learners will learn up to 5 songs throughout this course. 

Learners should practice between classes to improve their skills and prepare for class. 

Music theory in this course includes D 5-finger position, A 5-finger position and ledger line note E.

This course is designed to follow Level 2A, Part 4 piano instruction. Learners should know how to count music in basic meters, read notes, and play with both hands.

While it is not required, individual playing will help learners receive positive feedback to facilitate progress. Learners are encouraged to respond positively when others play to facilitate a safe performance space.

Arranging your device to show your hands, keeping your video on during class and practicing between classes will optimize learning. Please ensure that y "original sound for musicians" is "on" so that Zoom does not suppress the piano as noise.

Video demonstrations and other resources may be posted to the classroom to assist with practice between lessons.
