Group Piano for ages 6-11
The Primer Level introduces the keyboard, note values, and the grand staff. Students play in Middle C Position and C Position through recognition of steps and skips, and learn letter names independent of finger number. Musicianship is built through the use of dynamics and coloristic experimentation with the pedal.
Level 1 is for students who can play 5 finger or 8 note scales, and read in C position and know the rhythmic note values for quarter note, half note and whole note.
In these class, a small group of students will go through the initial part of this level together online with their own instruments at home. Time is spent learning concepts through screen sharing and then practicing them online on their instruments. Each student takes turn with their mic on while others play along. This builds great rhythmic coordination and listening skills!
Caregivers are welcome, and required for children in school grade 3 and under, to attend and assist their children. A piano or a digital keyboard is required to have at home for daily practice for this course. If a keyboard is chosen, it must have 88 keys, a pedal, a keyboard stand, a piano bench or adjustable stool, and a stand to hold the music.
