Piano Adventures

Piano Book Lesson - 2nd Edition

Piano Adventures is a popular method that combines the strength of intervallic reading, multi-key and middle C approaches, offering an exciting variety of sounds and styles with many teacher duets. Piano Adventures entertains and delights students with beautiful color illustrations and a carefully conceived layout. It promotes discovery and creativity - a real musical adventure! The Primer level introduces the student to the keyboard and immediately offers tunes on black key groups. The student begins playing on the white keys in middle C position, with varied fingerings however. Concurrent with individual note reading, the student is required to read the contour of the musical line - step or skip, up or down. The grand staff is presented, followed by progressive early-elementary level tunes using the notes of middle C position with varied fingerings. Middle C position is then presented and tunes in this position are found at the end of the book. Overall, material is organized into units highlighting major concepts and skills. As new units are introduced, earlier concepts and skills are constantly reviewed.

This series is ideal for beginning students ages 11 and up. Book 1 is a condensed and more mature version of the Primer Level and Level One of the basic Piano Adventures method. Book 1 starts with a few pages of pre-reading tunes and then jumps into reading from the staff. The tunes included in this accelerated version for the older beginner appeal to the adolescent and teen set with folk tunes from around the world, familiar classic arrangements, spirituals, and fun, appealing originals by the authors. Book 1 covers fundamental rhythms (including eighth notes), all the notes of the grand staff, C position, G position, and more.

Accelerated Piano Adventures for the Older Beginner

Piano Book Lesson

Level 1 begins with Firefly, a sweet and beautiful melody that is shared between the hands in C Major position. This level continues the interval orientation to reading across the full range of the grand staff. Quite a few new concepts are progressively introduced including legato and staccato, treble F - A - C - E, notes in treble C position, intervals (2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths), half and whole rests, sharps and flats, tonic and dominant, C Major chord, V7 chord, G positions and more.

Level 2A follows Level 1 and continues an intervallic orientation to reading with a musically appealing multi-key approach. Here the student learns the major and minor 5-finger patterns in C, G, D, and A - not so many as to overwhelm the student's reading or to become tedious, but enough to grasp transposition and basic chord recognition. Eighth notes, transposition, the phrase, half and whole steps, D and A positions, and minor 5-finger positions are all covered. Minor is included this early to tantalize the ear and to offer additional appealing sounds.
