Case Studies
Intro to Music - Piano Style
Students at Alvina Elementary Charter Schools explored music fundamentals through class instruction, solo, and group performance on piano keyboards. Keyboarding will serve to introduce young students to music basics and prepare them to transition into other types of instrumental and vocal ensembles in 5th through 8th grades. Students who attended learned basic keyboarding concepts including note names, finger numbers, five-finger positions and pitch notation for piano.

As the Alvina school music program grows, the ultimate goal would be to develop the piano curriculum and add enough keyboards to accommodate entire classes of K – 8 students.
