Piano II
One-semester course. This course is a continuation of Piano I. Students in Piano II are at a late beginner level and already have a grasp of identifying keys on the keyboard, playing note values as small as eighth notes, reading music in the treble and bass clefs, and basic articulation and technical skills. In Piano II, students will begin to explore the classical repertoire and deepen their understanding of music theory and history. Students in Piano II should expect to begin the course about halfway through Adult Piano Adventures: All-In-One Piano Course, Level 1.
Students in Piano II may choose to supplement their work in this course by registering for Music Theory A in the Fall of 2024. Music Theory will help deepen their understanding of the building blocks of music that they are actively applying to the piano. We cover very basic music theory concepts in piano class but music theory class goes deeper.
Prerequisite: Piano I. *Please note: If your student has some Piano training but you aren’t sure if they are ready for Piano II, please email [email protected] for help in placement.
