Piano Safari - Repertoire Book 1

Designed to provide a solid foundation for beginners, Repertoire Book 1 contains six key elements that promote the well-rounded development of each student: Rote Pieces, Reading Pieces, Folk Pieces, Technical Exercises, Improvisation, and Theory.

Reading Pieces: Reading Pieces begin with pre-staff notation and transition to a landmark-based intervallic system that is focused on mastering 2nds and 3rds.

Rote Pieces: Composed with a colorful harmonic pallet, Rote Pieces are pattern-based and use a wide range of the keyboard.

Folk Songs: Students enjoy playing familiar tunes. The Folk Songs provide motivation and finger number review.

Technical Exercises: The seven animal-themed exercises teach students the essential gestures necessary for a strong technical foundation.

Improvisation: Improvisation Pieces are included throughout the book to enhance creativity and imagination. They also provide reinforcement for musical and technical concepts.

Theory Pages: Theory Pages provide students with music theory review in a worksheet format.
