This will be a fun, interactive course where your child can ask questions, practice, and learn. We will learn the basics of reading music and music theory while leaning to play the piano. We will start on proper technique, and we will continue to make sure that we sit correctly and we keep our hands in a nice C shape  which will help us throughout our piano journey. We will practice numbering our fingers which is very important for reading music. After, we will start learning music theory. We will really start to get a good grip on the basics of reading music, distinguishing between quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes and their meanings. We will become very familiar with keeping rhythm.  We will also learn the notes on the piano and how to find them, as well as learning how to distinguish between the different dynamics and how loud to play (forte, mezzo forte, and piano). At the end of the class, we will put into practice what we have learned by trying to play some new songs! I am basing my curriculum of of Piano Adventure books, which I ask that each parent to get for their child for this class.
