MUAP 115 & 315 Class Instruction–Keyboard Spring 2008 Schedule	Piano Pages  William Wieland
Attendance: Since practice is paramount to learning any skill, I take roll every class period. If you are absent more than three times, your semester grade will be lowered one letter. 5 minutes late is considered tardy and being tardy twice is equal to one absence. An unexcused absence earns a zero for any quiz or recital scheduled that day. Ask Woody.
Practice: According to the NSU Music Major Handbook, "For every applied lesson students are expected to practice five hours per week." Class Instruction – Keyboard meets 2 hours per week. 30 minutes of piano practice per day the rest of the week satisfies the practice expectation of this class. On those rare occasions when the instructor is absent from class, please practice.
Typical Class: (large groups, small groups and individuals) Warm Up / Technique (5-finger patterns, scales & perhaps arpeggios) Harmony (cadence patterns, rhythmic cadence patterns, lead sheets and harmonizations) Real Music (sight reading, ensembles, solos and improvisation)
