Piano
A Message from Mr. Barton:
Piano
This course is designed to teach beginning piano students who are interested in basic playing techniques, theory, and terminology. Students will use the pianos and laptops provided to work on these skills throughout the semester. This is a performance-based course, which means independent study is required. Students with prior knowledge of piano or theoretical studies will have to be patient while we are working with those who have never played piano before. Independent projects can be designed for students needing more rigorous activity.
Materials YOU MUST PROVIDE
- Pencils (no pens!)
- Three-ring binder
- Supplemental pieces (given by teacher)
- Textbook (Alfred’s Basic Adult All-in-One Course, Book 1)
- This is the new textbook for the course. You may purchase the book online at https://www.alfred.com/alfreds-basic-adult-all-in-one-course-book-1/p/00-5753/
- You do not have to buy the bundle with the CD or DVD (that is optional)

A message from Mr. Story:
IMPORTANT: You will need proper attire for concerts. Boys should wear black pants, a white shirt with a dark tie, and black dress shoes with black socks. Girls should wear black knee-length (or longer) dresses, short or long sleeves (NO sleeveless), and black shoes-preferably flats, they're safer.
There is a $5 chorus fee.
