Music

This course is designed to teach the concepts and fundamentals of keyboard. This course will increase musical understanding beyond just reading notes by teaching students a vocabulary of chords and keys, accompaniment patterns, and improvisational techniques. Students will play melodies in several positions and have the opportunity to participate in ensemble playing. Students will develop good practice habits and learn techniques to increase the muscular agility and flexibility of their hands. Students will perform in various school events and will perform a solo piece in the spring piano recital as the culminating final of the course.
