ONLINE VIDEO PIANO LESSONS FOR CHILDREN FROM 3 TO 103!
LESSON FOUR
Lesson FOUR has its own Playlist on youtube.com called: LESSON 4: Anybody Can Play PIANO. This Playlist also has other short appropriate videos. To go directly to the LESSON 4 Playlist click here.
By this time students should be able to play Tick Tock and Rain Rain Go Away with one hand and be at least starting to try to play the melody with both hands at the same time.
Music theory is being introduced such as note names, number of music beats per type of note, etc. Remember to have the children view those parts of the lesson video until they remember with ease.

LESSON 4 MATERIALS and ACTIVITY SHEETS not already in binder
If these materials are to be used repeatedly, laminate. Sheets for coloring should just be regular paper sheets.
Dots in a Row
This new Dot Game has dots in a row so hand movement is identical to movement on a piano keyboard when playing a melody with both hands at the same time. This should be laminated for repeated usage.
Just click on
Dots In A Row to print out.
Flashcards
Two more flashcards have been added with this lesson. They should be laminated like the first two for repeated usage and placed in the binder or on a ring.
To access the additional flashcards, just click on

Draw Quarter Rest
This sheet lets students trace and draw a quarter rest. Very young children may not be able to trace, so just have them "trace" over the rest with their finger or give instructions to someone else how to draw the rest.

Draw Whole Note
This sheet lets students trace and draw a whole note. Very young children may not be able to trace, so just have them "trace" over the note with their finger or give instructions to someone else how to draw the note.

Walking Quarter and Half Notes
These two pages are for rhythm exercise games. Quarter notes = 1 beat and Half notes = 2 beats. Simply cut out sheets along dotted line, glue together, and laminate. "Walk" along notes with finger while someone evenly taps or "finger walk" and also count "1" for quarter notes or "1, 2" for the half notes. These sheets can be used right side up or upside down since notes go either direction in music.

Walking Notes to print out.
Practice Sheets
These Practice Sheets help to separate different activities for review and practice on a daily basis. They also function as "Lesson Plans". Do these activities with the lesson video, other videos listed, or in your own way.
