Course Description:<\/h3>\n
\n\t

The objective of this course is for all major students to develop both a wide range of basic functional performance skills and an overview of piano literature. This will enable students to utilize the piano\/keyboard for their own enjoyment and to provide a steppingstone for further studies in piano. Included in the course are studies in sight-reading, harmonization, repertoire, accompanying, transposition, improvisation, and other creative activities. Students will also develop a fundamental understanding of the history of the piano, as well as the cultural contexts that have influenced pianists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students will also have an opportunity to attend a concert in the New York City at the venue like Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center. At the end of semester, students will acquire a basic repertoire of pieces they can perform and\u00a0will be able to listen and understand music when they go to a live performance.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
