In this lesson the students will earn their Whit K-Tag and learn to perform the Superfly Work-out! The focus of this song is to identify and play using both hands and both staves. The K-Piano Method will be employed as we progress through each phrase of the piece. Emotional regulation must be focused on because this is the biggest challenge so far for the learners. All of the concepts studied throughout the year will be exercised: Coordination, Measures/Time Signatures, Grand Staff, Rhythm, Pentascales Note Naming, Mapping and Finger Numbers.
