Over the next 12 months you will luxuriate in keyboard craft, exploring Piano Adventures repertoire alongside sacred plainchant (Hildegard), chansons de geste, Minnesänger songs and minstrel tunes. Sip slow‑tone Hanon‑Faber routines to warm the hands, then indulge in Scale & Chord studies to flavour technique with harmonic understanding; use them together to weave healthy gesture with musical patterns. Progression: monthly focus alternates technique, repertoire, improvisation and a medieval study unit culminating in performance. Assessment maps to ACARA v9: Creating, Performing, Responding—skill development, aural, notation and historical context. Evidence: practice logs, two term recitals, a portfolio of arrangements and a reflective journal. Teacher notes: encourage lyrical tone, stylistic awareness, modal ear‑training and chestnut‑rich phrasing. Enjoy measured, sensuous phrasing, regular metronome discipline and collaborative medieval ensemble explorations each term together. Differentiation: scaffolded fingering, simpler transpositions, peer mentoring. Outcomes: confident technician, informed interpreter and creative improviser with a palate enriched by medieval sonorities.
