Sara Samples Do-Re-Mi Music Plan

Student Sara Sample Minimum Sessions 10 (twice weekly for 5-6 weeks)

Beginning Piano: Learning Do-Re-Mi! Saras lessons will focus on mastering the song Do-Re-Mi. She will practice a variety of short rhythm exercises and songs leading up to playing Do-Re-Mi. Her lessons will focus on learning all the notes of a C major scale on her right hand and new note rhythms. Rhythm Sara will do looping exercises that focus on playing notes of different durations side-by-side. The goal is for Sara to recognize and count whole, dotted-half, half, and quarter notes on their own and when they are paired together. She will also apply these rhythm skills to short songs from Easiest Piano Course, Teaching Little Fingers to Play, and Schaums Piano Course, Pre-A. Sara will learn to recognize and play the notes in middle-C position on the staff and keyboard without numbers or letters using both songs and notecard activities. She will then learn the ABC beyond middle C position with the help of finger numbers and note names and be able to find them on the keyboard and staff. Sara will play a full-octave C major scale fingering pattern with the help of finger numbers on the ABC above middle-C position. She will then identify those notes in her songs with numbers and be able to move her fingers properly to play them.
