Piano is a music class open to students in grades 9-12. Students learn to play a wide variety of music, including modern and classical compositions. Skills taught in this course include music theory, music history, ear training, composition, and performance. The course is suited to all levels of musical background and ability.
Students will be tested on their music theory knowledge twice per quarter. They will also have periodic playing tests in which they demonstrate their progress playing the piano. In addition, they will complete a final exam that encompasses all the skills they have learned throughout the year.
