The course continues on from the first year of our beginners piano programme and develops greater fluency at the keyboard: hand/eye co-ordination, reading music notation and understanding keyboard harmony. It also explores rhythmic vocabulary and dynamic contrasts. You need access to a full-sized keyboard or piano for lessons and practice. This course continues to Piano/keyboards 1E.
What will we cover?
Extended work on rhythmic patterns, including shorter note-values and dotted notes.
Development of legato technique
Development of finger staccato
Theoretical and practical of understanding of major keys in pieces and technical studies
Harmonisation of simple melodies: You will learn to recognise and play chords I, IV and V in major keys.
Aural skills: develop your understanding of keyboard harmony alongside playing and theoretical work.
Over the course of the three terms, Piano/keyboards 1 course repertoire works towards an approximate grade 1 standard.
Scales (for the whole year): C, G and F majors and A minor (harmonic and melodic, one octave).
Arpeggios in the same keys as the scales (1 octave, hands separately).
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
Play and recognise basic chords I, IV and V chords
Play a major scale hands separately
Recognise forte and piano dynamics
Play with basic finger staccato
Play melodic lines with basic legato technique
Play rhythms with quavers.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Students need to have been playing for one year or have completed Piano/keyboards 1C and you will need to follow written and verbal instructions in English and engage in class discussions.
If you already have experience of playing piano and reading music and are not sure about your level, you can download our: preparation piece for piano/Keyboards 1D. If you can play this piece easily (with two weeks’ practice) then this class is the right level for you. We also recommend you study this music ready for the start of your class as it addresses many of the points already covered in the previous piano class.
If you need any further advice please visit the Piano Department Pagewhich lists our full sequence of piano classes or click here to contact the Music Department directly.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
All courses use Google Classroom to share materials and messages, including any homework tasks. You will learn through:
tutor explanation and demonstration
group playing and individual demonstration tasks
To make good progress a regular practice routine is essential. We recommend a minimum of 20-30 minutes, 4-5 times per week.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
Students should have access to a keyboard or piano for practice between classes plus material, usually one or two printed books (approx. cost £10 each). To see the repertoire and any required music books you will need to bring to this course please refer to our list as follows: City lit piano repertoire books [external website] A notebook and pencil is also useful. Students should have access to a keyboard or piano for practice between classes plus material, usually one or two printed books (approx. cost £10 each). A notebook and pencil are also useful.

Ana Claudia Magalhaes is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has a degree in Music (main instrument Piano) at the School of Music of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She also attended for many years, the piano class of Gloria Maria da Fonseca Costa, a former pupil of Alexander Siloti. Gloria Maria was a major influence and inspiration in Ana's piano studies. Ana came to London in 1996, where she took the Post Graduate and MA degree in Music Teaching at the Professional Practice at the University of Reading. She has a passion for teaching, individually and in groups, from beginners to advanced, children and adults and she enjoys adapting her teaching according to the main needs of her students/classes. Although her main Musical Education was Classical, Ana has also developed the ability to improvise and play by ear since her teens when playing in bands with her youth friends and she thinks this freedom was very important for her formation as a musician. Ana plays solo but she also enjoys mainly playing chamber music, accompanied by other people. She has combined teaching and performing since she lived in Brazil.
Please note: We reserve the right to change our tutors from those advertised. This happens rarely, but if it does, we are unable to refund fees due to this. Our tutors may have different teaching styles; however we guarantee a consistent quality of teaching in all our courses.
