In this 4 week course, students will continue learning to play the piano in a fun and encouraging setting.  We will be using the Alfred Prep Course for the Young Beginner - Level B, and will expect to cover the middle portion of the book (pages 18-29), although pacing of the class may be adjusted as necessary.  Students should have completed the "Beginner Piano Class for Ages 5-8 - Part 3" OR have a good working knowledge of playing and reading notes in C Position on the grand staff including playing steps and skips (2nds and 3rd). 

Week One:
Students will play several songs in C position using skips, steps, and harmonic intervals.  

Week Two:

We will continue to learn new songs in C position while reviewing concepts learned in previous lessons.  We will learn about fifths. 
 Students will have the option to perform a song of their choice for the class.
