Piano Skills for the K-12 Classroom Teacher: A Refresher Course

New to piano or looking to refresh your skills? In this webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to explore basic piano skills that all K-12 music educators should be able to utilize in the classroom. Whether it’s general music, choral, orchestra/band, music theory, or a keyboard lab class, music educators will learn a set of keyboard skills that will enhance their teaching and enable them to work with a wider range of learners and learning styles. No piano needed; this webinar will give you tips for practicing these skills on your own time and using them with your own music students.
