5～9歳向けの楽しいピアノの旅、入門編2

In this class students who have finished Playful Piano Part B will CONTINUE even further in their piano journey in a fun and playful way that will include games, songs and movement to reinforce the concepts learned!  They will receive instruction from an expert teacher who is joyful, kind and encouraging. 
***In order to register, students must have finished Playful Piano Journey Part B, (or Wunderkeys Primer 1 or My First Piano Adventure Book B) as a pre-requisite or have permission from the instructor as we will be building on previous knowledge and Grand Staff note reading skills.

Students will continue to learn:
* Correct position at the piano and posture
* Keyboard Geography: how to find and recognize the keys on the piano
* Finger numbers and how they relate to playing on the piano
* Dynamics and articulation
* Many more songs to play on the piano both by rote and by reading and by improvising
* Patterns and melody and harmonizing
*MORE Note reading on the music staff

Students will meet each week for 30 minutes and each lesson will include time spent at the piano learning and playing as well as some movement and singing activities to reinforce concepts and keep learners engaged.  A small homework/practice assignment will be given each week at the end of class.

Students should have a piano or a minimum 61 key keyboard to learn and practice on and small amount of daily practice is recommended for progression.  You will need to order Wunderkeys Primer Two book off of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/WunderKeys-Primer-Piano-Book-Two/dp/1981933417
