Description

(Faber Piano Adventures ). The 2nd Edition Primer Lesson Book introduces the keyboard, note values, and the grand staff. Students play in C 5-finger scale patterns, develop recognition of steps and skips, and learn letter names independent of finger number. Musicianship is built through the use of dynamics and coloristic experimentation with the pedal. The book is organized into units which represent the major concepts and skills. As new units are introduced, earlier concepts and skills are constantly reviewed. Read more

    • Great for beginners
My daughter’s piano teacher recommended this book. The teacher likes the way the book progresses through lessons. It comes with a link to videos to help students play along with a track.

    • Fantastic beginner series
I ordered this lesson book, along with the Primer Level Technique and Artistry, Theory, Writing Book, Performance and Popular Repertoire books for my five and six year olds, to start them out on the piano. I am teaching them myself and decided on this curriculum because of its great reviews. I am enormously pleased that I did. Within the first few lessons my children were playing songs independently on the piano, and when I play the teacher's accompaniment along with them, and sing along with the provided lyrics, my kids feel like accomplished musicians. They are proud of themselves and eager to learn more. I really like how this curriculum is set up to teach musicianship in a holistic sense, right from the start. The first few lessons get them acquainted with the patterns on the keyboard, and exploring the different sounds it can make. The first ten pages or so have the students playing exclusively on the black keys, which are easier for the children to identify (they are not expected to know the names of the notes at first; once they know the number of each finger and LH/RH, a picture is provided to help them find the right positions, and they are only expected to use two or three fingers on each hand). The only tricky part about this is that I had to play the teacher's accompaniment in keys with five or six flats, which I haven't done in more years than I care to say, so sometimes I was the one making all the mistakes. But the kids flew right through those lessons and mastered them easily. They are next introduced to the names of the white keys, and it is not until half way through the book that they are introduced to reading music on staffs. I use the Lesson Book as my primary resource, but include the similar-skill pages from the other books I purchased to enhance their learning. My kids love the written activities that support their work on the keyboard, which are appropriate and fun for kids this age. I really appreciate how musicianship skills are incorporated right from the beginning: we are only a third of the way through the Primer Level, and my kids already have a musical vocabulary that includes piano (soft), forte (loud), quarter note, half note, whole note, repeat sign. There are exercises that teach sight reading, ear training, dexterity and strength training, and even composition. My kids feel empowered by the skills they are learning through this curriculum and I am confident they are getting a solid introduction to musicianship in general, not just piano playing. This curriculum gets five stars from me. ... show more

    • Definitely get this as a companion book....JUST FOR FUN playing with the orchestra app!
Im a piano teacher and I have mixed emotions about this product. I ADORE the play along tracks/App idea. I mean, I WISH i had that when I was a kid learning piano. However, I wish a- that the book had more american folk songs my kids recognized and b- Im not sure I LOVE teaching my children and students to position their fingers on black keys first before learning white keys. I also dont like that the first 14 pages or so are notes without a staff. I dont know... Again, my kids LOVE the background music. I'll keep trying to fall in love with it and let you know another day. I still prefer the Alfred Piano Course Books or the Making Music Method Book which begins right away with a staff and fingers in the C position. For age 5 and under, I MUCH PREFER Planimals Phonics for Piano. ... show more

    • Easy to understand
Being somewhat late in life to be learning piano (I just turned 75,) I’m finding this beginners book most helpful. Although I know I’ll never play like Danny Wright, I’m quite pleased with results so far! Easy to understand method descriptions, and little songs that are fun and easy-to-learn. I’ll definitely be buying the next book in series. ... show more

    • Sensible approach for young beginners
The three goals of the book: learn finger numbers, learn to find notes on piano, learn beginning notation. It starts with finger number exercises on black keys, and simple songs that kids can do easily with a little guidance. I find I have to remind students to remember to look at the page, as it is easy to memorize the pattern and never meet the goal of connecting the numbers to the fingers mentally. Next, it introduces notes on the keys by working with the two sets of keys: C, D, E, first; then F, G, A, B second. That approach seems sensible and effective. The letter names appear in the note-heads, as quarter note and half note rhythms are introduced. Finally, we start putting notes on the staff. This is where some students struggle. Notation does seem to be a hurdle for some kids. We teachers can use additional aids to help with learning/connecting the staff to the keyboard. I recommend this book for young learners. Older students may benefit as well, but they'll need to move pretty quickly through it, so they don't get bored or annoyed by the whimsical kid-oriented drawings. ... show more
