Keyboard Competencies III

Catalog description

This course is designed to prepare students to use the piano as a functional vehicle of expression and as an accompanying instrument. Having achieved basic piano technique and reading skills, the emphasis in this course is to expand the use of the keyboard in practical music education contexts: accompaniments, multiple staff (score) reading, and transposition. Students have opportunities to articulate practice strategies and to assess performances. Practical situations that call for modification of the printed score are also addressed. Prerequisite: MUS 147 . Offered Spring - Even Numbered Years.
