Brighter Notes Piano
Brighter Notes Piano Course is a Successful year round Group Piano Class for Beginners ages 6 – 12. Students can enter the class at any time, function at their own level and pace throughout this course and receive personal and private attention. Each student may be in different method books, learning different things in the same class! This course introduces music to your child with many benefits over that of a private lesson:
- 1. A group atmosphere of fun, friendship, and positive motivation.
- 2. An enhanced ability to play the piano with correct rhythm and fluency (excellent for sight reading).
- 3.An added incentive for parent and child to develop high quality and consistent practice habits at home.
- 4. An ability to perform in front of others with greater ease.
- 5. A full hour of instruction each week; giving a broader learning base which allows for better retention.
- 6. This class targets all learning abilities through all the different senses (multi sensory learning).
Each student will need to purchase a Brighter Notes Piano Course Packet ($45.00)
This packet includes individualized weekly assignment sheets, worksheets and other handouts for the students during the 9 month duration of the class. Soon this packet will be accessible with individualized weekly instructions for your child on line at thegrandstaffacademy.com (home of Brighter Notes Piano Course).
The packet includes the highly acclaimed Rainbow Note Reading Program, which consists of a set of Color Coded Flash Cards and Intervalic Reading Cards that flow along with each class instruction. Classroom games are an integral part of the multi sensory note reading program.
Also included in the packet is a Composer Collection containing a selection of professionally sketched portrait drawings of ten composers and their short biographies geared to the level of the students.
Aside from the packet, each student will be assigned music to purchase before class starts, depending on individualized age and ability. It is recommended to purchase a zipper pouch for the student to bring. This will go in their class binder they carry back and forth to keep loose items such as pencils and flash cards from getting lost.
