Today is a good day to start thinking about the overall goals of a group music class. Here are some goals that come perculating up:
1. improve fluency
2. ensemble opportunity
3. explore the piano reportoire
4. further discovery of music form, particularly sonata form
5. music games
6. master class format
7. continued group support

I am not sure the children truly support one another in their work. I have heard of practice buddies and this may work.

Welcome to my blog. I am looking for a space where we can work together to create a class for children that have graduated from the Music Makers At the Keyboard program. For many teachers, these children are sent to private piano teachers and we sometimes have no idea how our work is being perceived. Some teachers are considering keeping the classes together and continuing their piano study in this format. There has been various successes and some failures. Perhaps we can create a supportive space for all our efforts. I want to approach the questions: how do we move these children forward in a creative and musical way.
