A study of piano/keyboard in a class setting provides the student with a comprehensive introduction to fundamentals of keyboard technique. A variety of student levels is possible, however typically in group instruction courses students have limited formal instruction and therefore benefit from the technical basics, as well as the connections of piano literacy and aural skill development with musicianship. With frequent opportunities to perform individually, class members gain confidence as they acquire performance skills in an interactive class environment. Through weekly performance assignments, diverse styles of piano performance will be developed. Class members develop evaluative listening skills and an enhanced appreciation for the art of the piano and other keyboard music. Lab Fee.
