Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Primer Level
The Primer Level introduces the keyboard, note values, and the grand staff. Students play in Middle C position, develop recognition of steps and skips, and learn letter names independent of finger numbers. Musicianship is built through the use of dynamics and coloristic experimentation with the pedal. As new units are introduced, earlier concepts and skills are constantly reviewed.
Level 1
Level 1 introduces all the notes of the grand staff, elementary chord playing, and the concept of tonic and dominant notes. Musicianship is built with the introduction of legato and staccato touches. Students play in varied positions, reinforcing reading skills, and recognizing intervals through the 5th. It continues the interval orientation to reading across the full range of the grand staff.
Level 2A
Level 2A introduces eighth note rhythm patterns. Students work with 5-finger transposition, functional harmony, and musical phrases. Exploration of C, G, D and A major and minor 5-finger positions builds on intervallic reading skills that were introduced in the earlier level. Transposition and functional harmony skills are presented in highly musical settings.
