EVDIV 241 - Piano Class

Matthew Odell, Mika Sasaki, Assaff Weisman, Lisa Yui, Patrick Kreeger, Art Williford
In this class, students explore classical piano technique, style, interpretation, memorization, and performance practice in a master-class group setting. Each section of this class is limited to four students. Active listening, discussion, and attention are critical elements of group piano classes. Informal performances are given throughout the semester, and department-wide seminars featuring guest experts and master teachers round out the learning experience. Students are placed according to playing ability and potential to contribute to and enhance a positive group learning dynamic. Prerequisites: a basic knowledge of rhythmic values (i.e. whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, etc.) and the ability to sight-read at the piano in both treble and bass clefs with both hands playing together. Students may join in either fall or spring; however, spring placements are contingent on midyear vacancies. Placement application required for new students.

All piano classes are 11 weeks per semester; sections will be determined upon placement. Fall semester classes will begin the week of September 30.
