유연한 피아노 수업 - Faber 레벨 1

In this flexible piano class, students will learn new pieces and musical notions by completing weekly playing assignments and games. When completed, students will have mastered the basic musical notions, such as rhythm and notes, being able to read music and play with a good technique. 
The Outschool classroom will be used during this flex class. Every week, there will be tutorial videos of one piece plus a musical challenge. Students will be provided music sheets; they will have to watch the tutorial and submit the video assignments by the end of each week. The assignments will be watched and commented upon by the teacher and students within 2 days. The repertoire will vary from classical pieces from Faber Repertoire books to Disney/Popular hits. Classroom assignments will be made by 6 pm EST each Monday during our flexible schedule class. Tuesday through Friday will serve as practice time, review and individually scheduled office hours in case students have questions about the assignment; Saturday will be our deadline for the weekly video assignments. The feedback from the teacher and fellow students will be posted by Monday 9 am EST.

My goal as a musician is to focus our efforts on a tangible and meaningful contribution to society. Learning music is one of the most fulfilling and joyous activities, which fosters motor skills, cognitive development, and social skills. Creating a positive and nurturing environment for students can have a significant impact on their professional and personal development. 
​
Learning music is much more than learning how to play notes on an instrument; it helps students understand and learn how to convey emotions through music, how to communicate using different expression methods, and ultimately how to be happy, and compassionate people. Music can bring enjoyment to people, peace, and beauty to the world. Developing musical skills would fortify values, enhance skills, and broaden horizons.
​
I am seeking to create an educational environment that allows me to guide young learners on the colorful path of music. My teaching philosophy is that every student has a unique way of learning; therefore, I choose teaching methods and lesson plans that are suitable for each student’s needs. Whether students are seeking to learn music for fun or professionally, I truly believe I can guide them on this wonderful journey.
