The piano course of study offers opportunity for<br />
thorough training in both beginning basics and<br />
advanced piano. Training in beginning, college<br />
prep., and the first two years of college level<br />
studies can be acquired. The full course is<br />
divided into 10 levels, or approximately 8 years<br />
of study.<br />
Beginning students are guided into visual and<br />
auditory keyboard knowledge of all twelve major<br />
and minor tonalities. Ear training is particularly<br />
stressed.<br />
Intermediate and advanced students are guided<br />
in five phases of studies.<br />
1. Intermediate and advanced harmony through<br />
creative effort.<br />
2. Technique, or skill development and basic<br />
music knowledge.<br />
3. Intermediate and advanced repertory studies.<br />
4. Intermediate and advanced sight reading<br />
training.<br />
5. Review testin and relearning basic skills<br />
and understandings.<br />
Mr. Anderson also offers beginning organ for the<br />
first time this year. This division of the department<br />
will be broadened as time, facilities, and<br />
preparation are extended.<br />
Chances are Carol and Gary enjoy practicing on<br />
the piano very much.
