*The syllabus is subject to change based on the class's progress with the music.

In class, we will begin with reviewing music that we learned in the previous class.  We will then move on to new material.  Students will have many opportunities to perform for each other and receive feedback on their progress from me throughout the class.

Topics we will cover in class include note names for spaces and lines on the grand staff, different rhythms, and music terminology. Students will be assessed on their musical knowledge through Kahoot, as assigned for homework.  Students can be given various theory assignments for homework that could include working from their book, composing their own song, etc.  Homework will also include practicing three times a week for fifteen minutes.  Practice of piano music covered in class is imperative for the student’s success in this class.  I will also post practice videos (via google drive link) in the classroom of me playing the songs we cover in class to help your student’s practice.
