    Description
    An introductory exploration of piano and keyboard music in Western classical and popular music cultures, with a focus on historical context, music theory, and beginning piano literature. Students will develop critical thinking skills through exploration of cultural and historical contexts that influenced the creation of specific genres and/or pieces of keyboard music. In addition, students will learn beginning piano performance skills for a "hands on" experience of the traditions they explore, with an emphasis on creative problem solving skills. Concert attendance may be required.
