*A healthy, facile, and relaxed piano/keyboard technique is the ultimate goal and reason for any technical studies at the instrument*:  we will learn about different technical challenges and improve our overall approach to the keyboard through slow, careful, and supported practice.
-understanding of three different, common keys and the major and minor tonalities
-experience working on slow, careful technical work at the keyboard so that a student may not only reproduce what is being taught, but understand the 'whys' for that instruction: basic mechanical understanding of the human body as it plays the keyboard, fingering patterns that may be applied to repertoire, and a basic theoretical understanding of music.
-fun and creative musical expression

-25 years piano playing and study
-Feldenkrais studies (body mechanics)
-background work in music theory, composition, and young student learning

宿題が提供されます
Students will have no more than 5-10 minutes of practice, 4-5 days a week for this class. Part of this homework will be following along in the practice videos, and part of it will be practicing the scales, chords, and arpeggios on their own.
授業以外に週あたり 0 - 1 時間の学習が期待されます
評価が提供されます
In order for me to assess progress, students must make and upload videos of them demonstrating the chords, scales, and arpeggios we're learning. I will reply to learners' videos with comments, congratulations, and corrections as appropriate so that students will know what to work on next. If a learner is stuck, I especially want to see what they have so far, so that we can work through any technical or musical questions that come up.

This is not suitable to complete beginners, but anyone enrolled in my Beginning Piano Lessons classes (if in Book 1, they need to have completed lesson 20) will have enough knowledge to join this class.
