I'll be working in a variety of ways to introduce the students to the piano. At the beginning of each class, I will play a YouTube performance of a famous pianist or a famous piano piece. The music will range from Beethoven to Mozart, from Oscar Peterson to Billy Joel and to countless other legends in this field.
Each student will be assigned an influential musician to research and then report their findings to the class. This will result in a large mural at the front of the class for all students to enjoy.
I will be teaching all students to play a blues pattern through a rote method.
Finally, all students will work with the software E Media Piano to learn music theory and gradually obtain piano skills. At the half year, all of my students will then have the opportunity to work with Mr. Morrissette on guitar skills.
