MUSC 252 — Class Piano IV
(formerly MU 252) Continues material presented in Class Piano III. New keyboard skills include arpeggios, greater independence of hands in polyphonic repertoire, and playing in a greater variety of styles (classical, blues, folk, etc.). All major and minor scales will be learned, hands together in one octave. Students will learn and perform two-hand repertoire featuring melody and various types of chord accompaniments to a level consistent with a secondary keyboard major in a four-year music program. Elements of keyboard technique will continue to be developed. Regular individual practice on a keyboard/piano is expected.
