Description

Hello,If you don't know how to read notes, this is not for you!This course is for those who want to learn piano in a professional way, get fluent with the notation and develop finger strength and independence.This course is best for a slow note reader, an adult, or a kid - age 9 and up and an adult who has extra 10 minutes a day to commit to the practice schedule. I would not recommend it for a younger child because it requires some independence in following instructions.This course consists of 3 main categories- Repertoire, Technical Exercises, and Sight-Reading/Aural Training - everything that a student needs to pass the piano test if they would want to.Repertoire has 3 sections - Baroque, Classical, and Early Counterpoint. You also need to play one etude. And I added 2 extra pieces from the music of India as I believe it should be a part of the world piano curriculum. Each video is given hands separately first, hands together then, and at 2-3 different speeds.Technical Exercises have necessary scales and arpeggios which will help you to develop some good articulation.Sight-Reading and Aural Training will help you to understand some theoretical laws of classical music and get fluent in notation reading.This course is based on the RCM curriculum, I chose the RCM test because I love their repertoire selections, their technicals are not extremely difficult, just to the point and their customer service is great. RCM is not very different from the ABRSM or LCM or Trinity College of music. But their curriculum is closer to how I used to study the piano.After completing this course you can absolutely confidently register yourself for an exam - and get a good score. It has everything you need. That’s pretty much it. All the best with your aspiration!
