The piano is one of the easier instruments to learn how to play because of the one-to-one relationship of keys to notes and the intuitive layout of the music with bass and treble clefs corresponding to each hand. Intro: We’ll cover the basic scales with both hands, warm up with exercises to build speed and dexterity, and learn several simple songs. Refresher: This class is for those who have already taken Intro to Piano or the equivalent and who can read notes. We will improve sight reading and practice minor scales, chords, arpeggios, cadences, and progressive exercises to improve finger dexterity and rhythm. Please note: Students must have a tuned piano* (acoustic, digital or electric) and a video camera (i.e. Zoom webcam) on the hands, fingers and the keyboard. * full size (88 keys) with weighted action preferable but not necessary. Instruction will be provided on the best setup on the first night of class.
