Piano and Technology


Piano Performances are in the middle of their semester notation projects:

Piano 2 students are doing an arrangement of any holiday song and we will make a CD recording of all the arrangements when they are finished.

Piano 3 students have analyzed "Theme & Variations on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," by Mozart and are writing their own Theme & Variation keyboard composition on a children's tune. They will each perform their composition for the class the first week in November.

Piano 4 students are composing an original composition for any keyboard instrument in a mode (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian) and they, too, will perform their composition for thye class the first week of November.

Students also are usiing Musition (theory program) and Auralia ("ear training" program) to improve their individual skills.
