In this session of piano classes, students will continue their musical educations by continuing the skills learned in the previous music classes.  These students have completed the Faber Piano Adventures Lesson Book Primer Level (or the equivalent) and can play the piano with each hand separately. They they should be familiar with the placement of the notes on the piano and have some knowledge of notes on the staff.  They will continue to learn how music elements, such as rhythm, melody, and dynamics work together to create songs. As in the other classes, this class will be filled with interactive activities through  playing solos, and answering questions about musical symbols and notes.  

I am a retired public school music teacher.  I graduated from Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. with a Bachelors of Music Education.  I have taught music to all grades in the public school system, but spent most of my time in elementary and middle school music. I have taught private piano lessons for many years in my home to all ages, ranging from 5 year old students to adults.  I have also taught online for almost 5 years and enjoy this a great deal!  I am also certified in Reading and ESL.  I enjoy working with students of all ages! 

提供的家庭作業
I would like to encourage the students to practice the skills they have learned in each class for a few minutes each day.  A certain time amount is not suggested, because each student learns at a different pace. Practice at home will be needed in order to master the skills learned in class.  It is my ambition to create a fun and inviting classroom, which will encourage them to want to practice in order to master the skills learned.
