To London with Handel and His Messiah | Piano Camp Curriculum – Piano Expeditions Level Two

A biblically-themed musical adventure that introduces students to the magnificent work of Handel in his oratorio, Messiah. Students will have a blast playing music theory games, learn and sing their own song based on a biblical psalm, explore the topography of the piano, learn to recognize basic rhythmic notation and patterns, improvise or compose their own musical ideas, and interact with a memorable story that introduces the bass clef staff notes. Enjoy this journey into the wild and wonderful world of music!

Piano Expeditions are designed for students ages 4-10 who are beginning to explore the world of music. Level Two is especially designed for students who may have participated in a Level One Piano Expeditions program previously. The keys on the piano are more quickly reviewed, notes on the bass clef staff are introduced, and basic rhythm notation and dictation are included. Five days of lessons can be scheduled consecutively in one week or spread out over a period of five weeks, and each lesson is designed to be 1.5 hours of class time.

The downloadable package includes: A 51-page Teacher Curriculum, a 44-page Student Workbook, a set of supplementary student printables, a blank flyer to promote your own class/piano camp, a student registration form, and sheet music and mp3 files for the piano camp songs!
