Assignment #1
☐ Introduce instrument: Piano (name of different parts, be careful with the lid, be gentle!)
☐ Introduce basic body and hand postures (Body: sit straight and relax, imagine a line that connects
the top of your head, your neck, your back, and the piano bench where you sit on) (Hand: imagine
an egg in the palm of your hand; shoulder: relax and balance; wrist: be natural and know their
weight can help you play softly or loudly! Most of all, be aware of how your body feels when you
play! If you feel very tired, your posture probably is wrong!)
☐ Introduce white notes on the keyboard, and how to find them.
☐ (Optional) Solfege (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do) while playing piano.
Next Week’s Focus: Solfege; Basics on reading music scores.
