🎉 This introductory small group piano class is for learners who are interested in playing the piano with each hand and starting to learn to read music. 

Benefits of a group class over private lessons are:
⏲️ More affordable class for a longer session,
🙃 Hearing other learners around the same level making mistakes too,
🥳 Witnessing the benefits of practice done by others in their improvement,
👏 Having an audience in the next class that is not just your teacher (peers) as a reason to practice between classes.

🎹 Learners need to have a piano or keyboard during class to play along with Mrs. Pauli. 

💻 Learners will need to be able to see their screen to view the music while playing on their instrument. No book purchases will be necessary in this class. All music has been arranged by Mrs. Pauli and will be provided and printable after class. A 3-ring binder with plastic page protectors is a great way to keep songs organized. 

🎼This class is a fun piano class for students who are just starting playing piano or keyboard.

🔠 If your student is an absolute beginner, I recommend one of the Introductory courses:

Piano Music Class Primer - 25 minute class
https://outschool.com/classes/piano-music-class-primer-level-a-Of9yqgP9
or
Piano Music Class Level A - 50 minute class with music reading instruction
*This Class*
or 
Self-Paced Piano Lessons Level A - 4 week pre-recorded class with email interaction

🎶We have a wonderful opportunity to have that "It's Music Day" feeling! 🎶
Every week, learners will be given an exercise and a song to practice. We will play fun games to work on reading music notes.

🗓️ The Piano Music Class series, PMC Level A (Primer)  through PMC Level J, runs by seasonal term. 
Piano Music Class Series Levels A - F are 10 week classes each over 1 term.
Piano Music Class Series Levels G - J are 20 week classes each over 2 terms.

📈 Learners can progress through the Piano Music Class Series with Mrs. Pauli for over 3 years of consistent piano class material. At the end of the Series, learners should have the ability to read all sheet music, play beautiful pieces on piano, and 🔥have experienced the benefits of regular effort and practice in a skill🔥. 

🎉This Primer class is available for your student to start learning piano now, even if it is the middle of the term. Your learner can join late and be welcome to work on this week's unique exercise and song and start practicing reading Treble Clef and Bass Clef music with a fun BINGO game!  Each class is designed to be a starting point for new learners and progress for continuing students.

The other introductory class option is the 25 minute Piano Music Class Primer which will cover the same exercises and songs without instruction on reading music.

🎹Practicing between classes is highly recommended and would be necessary for continuous progression through levels of the Piano Music Class series as the material increases in difficulty for each level. 

✅Please schedule your practice times as part of your commitment to piano classes in order to progress through the music at an enjoyable rate. Studies have shown that piano students who practice between lessons pursue music longer and have a better experience in lessons. Here is an article from Steinway & Sons about the benefits of practicing piano: https://www.steinway.com/news/features/the-benefits-of-playing-piano.

Outschool's no-show policy is that class will be closed after 10 minutes if no learners have logged on.
