Give out handout: Today I learned how to sit at the piano and name my fingers. I learned about
keyboard geography and how notes can go up,down or stay the same. I learned that the low
notes live on the left side of the keyboard, while the high notes live on the right side. I learned
that each sound has a name. Under the group of 2 black keys, there lives C,D and E. Under the
group of 3 black keys, there lives F,G,A and B. I also learned about the duration of notes. We
can have short notes or long notes. I am looking forward to tomorrow, when I’ll learn about
pentascales, improvisation and jazz.
2/20 Group Piano Class 2: Pentascales and Improvisation
Improvisation (5 min)
Create a song on the spot, but with some rules.
Analogy of: making dinner from scratch, but you have to use tomatoes and beans somehow.
To improvise we need a melody, a rhythm and some rules that make it all sound good.
I got the Blues Composition for the 6 or 7 year old (10 min)
