Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: Instructor will describe, show examples of, and demonstrate monoprint techniques to class. Lecture will include information on safety issues and proper material handling and storage. After lecture is complete, students will work to create a work using monoprint techniques. Lecture: In an instructor led and structured discussion, students will discuss and critique as a group the processes and degree of overall success of each others' works. Active and relevant participation by students will include verbal impact and written examples. Works will be based upon instructor description, demonstration, and supervision. Distance Learning Visually oriented lecture describing, showing examples of, and demonstrating monoprint techniques to class. Student then work to create a series of prints using monoprint techniques post these prints to the discussion board to be critiqued through written format using relevant terminology. Active and relevant participation includes students responding to each others’ comments in the discussion board. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read reviews of various gallery/museum shows. Evaluate and be prepared to discuss in class. 2. Read about a documented printmaking artist and give an oral presentation about their work in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Write a critique on a museum or gallery and show that you have visited. 2. Prepare and submit for evaluation a portfolio of art work completed during the semester. Include a written critique of the work. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Prepare an artwork done independently from class utilizing skills learned during the semester.

MUS 0040A - Beginning Piano I
http://catalog.sierracollege.edu/course-outlines/mus-0040a/
Catalog Description Hours: 54 (36 lecture, 18 laboratory) Description: Beginning instruction in the fundamentals of playing piano. Note reading and basic playing techniques are introduced. Designed to develop musicianship and facility. (CSU, UC) Course Student Learning Outcomes CSLO #1: Accurately read musical notation at the beginning level and perform simple pieces with correct notes and rhythms. CSLO #2: Demonstrate through performance a musical piece that utilizes thumb underscales. CSLO #3: Identify and evaluate individual progress in practicing scales and analysis of repertoire. Effective Term Fall 2024 Course Type Credit - Degree-applicable Contact Hours 54 Outside of Class Hours 54 Total Student Learning Hours 108 Course Objectives LECTURE OBJECTIVES: 1. Name the piano keys that correlate with notation. 2. Identify major and minor key signatures. 3. Prepare and perform elementary level repertoire. 4. Trace the origins and historical development of the piano. 5. Critique a piano performance and the interpretive choices of both performer and composer using standard musical terminology. 6.

LABORATORY OBJECTIVES: 1. Play rhythms correctly at a steady tempo. 2. Play 5-finger patterns, 24 keys (major and minor). 3. Perform scales, all majors in tetrachords. 4. Apply thumb-under scales: C, G, F majors spanning one octave using both hands with proper hand position and correct fingerings. 5.

Students will define a list of terms. 2. Students will write out a major scale for two octaves with correct accidentals and fingering. Problem Solving Examinations Example: 1. Students will be asked to perform a particular scale with both hands together for two octaves followed by the correct chord progression I-IV-I-V7-I. Pass/Fail Grading 2. Students will perform a piano solo as part of their mid-term and final exams. Skill Demonstrations Example: 1. Explain and demonstrate proper posture, fingering and hand position when playing a G major scale. 2. Demonstrate the fingering patterns for major and minor chords and identify each when played. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Activity: Instructor will assist students with fingering concerns as needed during a practice session. At the end of this process students will successfully perform C and G major scales individually and as a class with the instructor providing an accompaniment. Instructor will present short music reading selections for students to discern patterns melodically and rhythmically. Students will spend 5-10 minutes learning the short music reading selection and then perform for the class. Lecture: In learning how to play scales, concepts of scale construction are introduced on the white board and on the keyboard. Students play tetrachords (two parts of a scale) starting on C with two hands initially to realize the half-step/whole-step construction of the scale. Playing the tetrachords starting on any note is demonstrated to further understanding of the major scale. Instructor presents playing a C major scale thumb-under with correct fingering, hands separately is introduced. To reinforce the kinesthetic understanding of scale playing as well as the intellectual understanding, various rhythmic drills are used as well as verbally spelling specific major scales on specified starting notes. Students will practice for accuracy and fluidity. Distance Learning The above lecture/discussion activities will be presented via video lectures posted on Canvas and/or Collabra. The above laboratory activities will take place via Zoom, Collabra, and/or Canvas. Instead of performing live for class, students will record themselves playing scales and musical selections assigned by the instructor. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1) Read the chapter text on primary chords, answer the evaluation questions at the end of the chapter and prepare to play. 2) Research a well-known performer of piano music and report observations of their development as a pianist. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1) Perform a memorized piano piece in class. 2) Interpret how dynamic markings and other expression markings affect the performance of a piece of music. 3) Sight-read an eight measure elementary level piece. 4) Keep a practice journal recording achievements and experiences through the semester to share with the class.
