This course consists of 6 piano lessons based on a downloadable piano book focusing on the right and left hand middle C position. This course is a continuation of a previous course (Level 1, Part 2). Learners will identify notes on the staff, note names, and note duration as they continue building their music reading skills. Learners will be presented with visuals of the songs as well as a keyboard visual to facilitate understanding throughout class. During each class, learners will review previous music terms and songs, learn new songs and skills, and demonstrate good piano playing technique. Learners will be given activity sheets to complete for practice in naming notes.

Learners should practice between classes to improve their skills. Videos of songs and other resources will be posted on the Outschool classroom to assist with practice.

Week 1 - Middle C Position
