In this class, the students will begin with the basics of piano, with the characters of Beethoven Bear and Mozart Mouse.   Also, as the weeks progress, they will learn more musical concepts and continually build their confidence.   I need a parent in the class with their student to keep them on task and to help them with various activities.  This class  is for the young child who will learn keyboard awareness  and rhythmic awareness, learn simple songs and basic musical terms. I will be interacting with them and watching each one of them play the assigned part and checking for understanding, throughout the lessons.
