• All students should visit "CANVAS" for information.

  • SYLLABUS

     

    Each day students will face the UNIQUE challenge of being in one piano classroom with many different levels of piano being taught simultaneously. 

    Students MUST BRING EAR BUDS EACH DAY!  

    WEB PAGE: davidson.rcboe.org.  Then CLICK ON "Staff & Departments", CLICK ON "Hennessy, Paul", CLICK ON any piano class.

    Students are ADVISED to check CANVAS or the class board each day upon entering the classroom.  Students should begin immediately on their assigned pages even without instructions for that particular level of piano.  There are 7 piano levels total at Davidson and possibly ALL 7 LEVELS in one 25 minute piano class.  Starting each day right away with or without instruction is a GREAT IDEA - DO IT!  

    GRADING PROCEDURES: Quiz = 40%, Assignments = 30%, Discussions = 20%, Professional Responsibilities everyday = 10%

    CANVAS - Assignments are listed weekly.  All virtual or learn at home students should check assignments, watch a quick instructional video if posted for that week and try the assignment.  Students know how to click the "submit assignment" tab and submit their assignment if they are not physically in the classroom.  Assignments listed weekly is the TOP PRIORITY for success in piano class if learning at home.  Face-to-face students can also access these assignments and watch instructional videos.

    TEAMS MEETINGS TIMES ARE LISTED BELOW FOR LEARN AT HOME STUDENTS (returning to face-to-face) & Virtual Students (online all year).

    Click on note identification at the top
    Look at the upper right pinwheel (customize settings) and click on clefs - set to grand staff which is bass & treble clef.

    Have fun - try to get 30 for 30 in about 90 seconds or less.

    Click on Exercises at the upper left
    Click on Notes names
    Click on Grand Staff - Click on select all.
    It's set up for you - you don't need to adjust it.  Click start - have fun - the clock is running!

    My speed is 30 correct answers in 60 seconds.  It should take you one second to look at the note and one second to move the mouse.  I would say if you answer 30 for 30 (100%) in 90 seconds that would also be VERY good!
