Elementary Group Piano

Students will explore:

• Piano basics and keyboard geography
• Music notation and note reading
• Rhythm and counting skills
• Ensemble playing
• Musical teamwork and listening skills

For years, group piano instruction was a standard course in U.S. public schools. In this group setting, students would learn the fundamentals of piano, musical rhythm and notation, the art of ensemble, and teamwork. 

In group piano lessons with Madelyn Potter, your students will receive all of these elements, and have fun while learning! 

She creates engaging activities that both challenge and motivate students to grow their musical abilities. All group lessons are held in UNI's very own piano lab, featuring electronic keyboards and headphones. Students will also receive the opportunity to perform in an ensemble piece at the CMS Student Recital. Come learn how to play the piano in a welcoming environment, where students learn to prioritize effort over talent, acceptance over avoidance, self-reflection over comparison, and progress over perfection.Through interactive activities and group learning experiences, students are challenged and motivated while developing foundational musicianship. Participants will also have the opportunity to perform an ensemble selection at a Community Music School student recital.
