Student Abstract Questionnaire
Student Abstract, History & Music Goals in Writing - The first 9 Learning Objectives are easy. These questions are designed to help you, the new musician, to think about your long term musical goals and your reasons for picking up piano. Your answers to these questions will set the tone for the rest of your musical journey.
So take your time and think carefully about your answers, and we will go over them together at the Midterm Review (Lesson 5).
Plus this also helps me (teacher) get to know you (student) better, so that I can plan personalized lessons that will help you achieve your goals. It all starts here... Music learning goals & plans in writing:
