Faber My First Piano Adventure Level A Lesson Book with CD

Description

Three distinguishing features of the Lesson Book A make it unique and effective for the young 5-6 year old beginner:

1. A strong focus is on technique which is shown through playful technique games, chants, and carefully-composed pieces.
2. An outstanding CD for the young student to listen, sing, tap, and play along with at the piano.
3. The fanciful art features five multi-cultural children who are also learning to play. These friends at the piano introduce basic rhythms, white key names, and a variety of white and black-key songs.

Young students will enjoy the multi-cultural “friends at the piano” who introduce white-key names, basic rhythms, and a variety of songs which span classical, folk, and blues. Ear-training and eye-training are also part of the curriculum. The Fabers’ instructional theory “ACE” – Analysis, Creativity, and Expression, guides the pedagogy of My First Piano Adventure. Analysis leads to understanding, creativity leads to self-discovery, and expression develops personal artistry. The CD for this book offers a unique listening experience with outstanding orchestrations and vocals. The recordings demonstrate a key principle of the course: when children listen, sing, tap, and move to their piano music, they play more musically.
