    PIANO PEDAGOGY 3: Intermediate Literature

    Course 57275 and 57975


    Instructor: Luz Manríquez

    Course Description

    This course will focus on how to teach repertoire from Baroque to Contemporary styles to
    students of intermediate piano level. In class, students are expected to play weekly the
    assigned pieces in a polished way (pieces will be assigned at the beginning of the semester). In
    class we will discuss methods of teaching that repertoire, including musicality, technique, style,
    sound, and any other topic specific to each piece.

    Objective

    Upon completing the course, students should be able to perform and teach an extensive
    selection of Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern/Contemporary piano intermediate
    repertoire in a clear and comprehensive manner.

    Assessment

    Students will be assessed based upon completion of weekly assignments at a polished level,
    attendance, class participation and a final two-part exam.

    Grading: Grades will be based on the following criteria:

    1) Attendance and weekly preparation of the assigned pieces : 70%


    2) Two- part Final Exam: 30%
    (Details under Weeks 14-15)

     Wellness

    The last few years have been challenging as we have had a lot of stress and uncertainty.
    Please do your best to maintain a healthy lifestyle this semester by eating well, exercising,
    avoiding drugs and alcohol, getting enough sleep, and taking some time to relax. This will help
    you achieve your goals and cope with stress. If you or anyone you know experiences any
    academic stress, difficult life events, or feelings like anxiety or depression, I strongly encourage

     Diversity

    It is my intent that students from all diverse backgrounds and perspectives be well served
    by this course, that students’ learning needs be addressed both in and out of class, and that the
    diversity that students bring to this class be viewed as a resource, strength, and benefit. It is my
    intent to present materials and activities that are respectful of diversity: gender, sexuality,
    disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, and culture. Your suggestions are
    encouraged and appreciated. Please let me know ways to improve the effectiveness of the
    course for you personally or for other students or student groups. In addition, if any of our class
    meetings conflict with your religious events, please let me know so that I can make
    arrangements for you.

     Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

    If you have a disability and have an accommodations letter from the Disability Resources office,
    I encourage you to discuss your accommodations and needs with me as early in the semester as
    possible. I will work with you to ensure that accommodations are provided as appropriate. If
    you suspect that you may have a disability and would benefit from accommodations but are not
    yet registered with the Office of Disability Resources, I encourage you to contact them
    at access@andrew.cmu.edu.
