Session 2

Piano

Play with Conviction

At Pacific Piano Camp, students will meet other young pianists, have numerous opportunities to perform, discover new skills and repertoire, and explore new ideas about practicing, listening critically and playing with conviction.

The piano program is intended for entry level and/or developing piano students who have some previous piano experience.

Curriculum

Students will build a musical foundation by learning its basic elements and will apply their understanding at the piano. This involves identifying the structure and different components of music, developing technique and musical ideas and creating a regimen to further develop their musicianship.

Planned Topics

In working with each student, we will discuss the different components of music, such as note reading, rhythm, harmony, melody and dynamics. Students will also develop their technique at the piano through topics such as fingering, sight reading, practice habits and musical structure.
