Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

Preludes are short works of music that have varied in form and style throughout the past three centuries. In this course, you will learn three famous preludes, each from a different era; the first was written by Bach, the second by Chopin, and third by Debussy.


Watch videos of Juilliard-trained pianists playing each piece, listen to lectures that offer instructional tips, explore the rich history of the prelude as a musical genre, and delve into media-rich lessons that will teach you a step-by-step approach to learning each new work.


You will boost your piano technique and build practice skills that will inspire and enrich your playing for years to come.
