Description
Outline
Materials

Most of us have a desire to express ourselves in music. The piano is the logical medium to turn to because, through it, one can express one’s feelings through rhythm, melody, and harmony. Upon completion of this course, learners will identify and describe the development of sounds in music and perform with expression and technical accuracy in individual performances of a varied repertoire of music on a piano. Students will learn about parts of the piano. They will also learn the letter names of the notes used in piano playing and their placement on the keyboard. They will also gain an understanding of basic music theory. Students will then begin playing notes and chords on the piano. They will continue to develop these skills to be able to write
and perform final versions of compositions.
