Why Piano Adventures?

First and foremost, Piano Adventures is student-centred. Teachers will find the appealing variety of sounds and styles educates and motivates. The technique exercises and pianistic repertoire of the course lay the foundation for expressive playing. And the pedagogy of Piano Adventures, which so effectively combines the strengths of intervallic, multi-key, and Middle C approaches, has set an exciting musical standard for today’s piano teacher.

Approach to Reading

Many teachers have experienced some frustration with students who have not mastered note reading. Piano Adventures has established a new model for piano methods with its composite approach to note reading. The ability to read music is developed by effectively integrating three essential skills: 1) discrete note recognition; 2) intervallic reading; and 3) a multi-key understanding. These are carefully sequenced and reinforced to build successful readers. The Piano Adventures approach to reading has several important benefits:

Prevents the student from equating a particular note to a particular finger.

Teaches the precise relationship between a note written on the staff and its matching key on the piano.

Allows for a free and balanced drop of the arm and hand into the finger for a full, round tone.

Avoids the overuse of two thumbs on Middle C. Reduces the student’s dependence on fixed hand positions.

The early levels of Piano Adventures offer a valuable set-up for each piece. The student is required to identify the first note for each hand, write the note name in the blank provided, and then place the hand correctly on the keys according to the finger number given. The student learns the fundamental procedure of music reading and becomes self-sufficient in this process.

Concurrent with individual note reading, the student is required to read by the contour of the musical line — step or skip, up or down. This intervallic reading approach promotes fluency, recognition of melodic patterns, and understanding of the musical line.

At Level 2A, with the student firmly grounded in note reading, a multi-key approach is presented. 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. At Level 2B, the complete major scale is introduced along with key signatures and primary chords (I, IV, and V7) in the keys of C, G, and F.

Approach to Pianism

Pianistic pieces and songs with fanciful lyrics are one of the hallmarks of the Fabers’ material. All of the music in Piano Adventures has been specifically composed to build a strong technical and artistic approach to playing.

Starting from Primer, well-written pieces develop fluent piano technique. Even beginning songs are written to encourage freedom at the keyboard, to promote a relaxed wrist, and to introduce gestures that carry the hand across the full range of the instrument. The method presents essential pianistic gestures called Technique Secrets — from Wrist Float-offs to a Light Hand Bounce to Alignment for beautiful scale playing. Easy and effective use of the damper pedal opens up the rich sonority of the instrument and promotes active listening.

Imagination and Artistry

The lyrics, art, and musical imagination embedded in Piano Adventures make it keenly attractive to children. A method can only be as good as its music and the imaginative music of Piano Adventures shines.

In addition, the Technique & Performance Books present essential Technique Secrets, exercises, and etudes that lead to expressive Performance Pieces. This structured path invites the teacher to bring his/her own imagination and artistry into the lesson.

Piano Adventures offers short Discovery or Creative questions with each piece. These foster “habits” of analysis and creative exploration.

Student Appeal

Students are attracted to the wide variety of sounds and moods of the music in Piano Adventures. The pacing works. Years of painstaking pilot testing have ensured a method that has wide student appeal. Literally over one hundred pieces that did not “pass the test” of student enthusiasm were discarded and replaced, until the method met the standards and musical tastes of both piano student and teacher. The appeal of the music and carefully structured pedagogy have been confirmed by thousands of letters and comments from teachers and students worldwide.

PRIMER LEVEL Synergy from the Beginning

Lesson & Theory Book

Each level of Piano Adventures All-in-Two Edition consists of two books: the Lesson & Theory Book and the Technique & Performance Book.

Students can play along with teacher duets at their lesson.

Five Secrets for Piano Technique

To end, s-l-o-w down and stop on C. It’s midnight. The frogs are asleep on the lily pads...

Students learn essential technical gestures through creative imagery in five “Technique Secrets.” For example, students can readily correct their hand position when they are reminded to Raise the Roof!

The vibrant Performance Pieces bring it all together, written specifically to bring out maximum expression in the student’s playing.

The “Technique Secrets” are used as warm-ups for the many patterned exercises throughout the book.

SECRETS

Four Technique Secrets

Technique means skill. These technique secrets will help you play pieces more easily.

1. The first secret is ROUND HAND SHAPE Hand Cups Place your right hand over your kneecap. Keep that “hand shape” and s-l-o-w-l-y place your hand on the keyboard. Now do the same with your left hand Try it hands together.

2. The second secret is a RELAXED WRIST Wrist

The “Technique Secrets” develop expressive pianism— even at this early level.

Question:

*Teacher Note: The shoulder should not rise, but stay relaxed.

Carefully composed Performance Pieces allow students to shine.

New and traditional exercises provide finger development to complement the coordination of hand, wrist, and arm.

Level 3 uses a systematic approach to more deeply explore major and minor keys and scales. Ledger lines extend staff reading to new ranges, while semiquaver patterns prepare students for intermediate repertoire. Compound meter is introduced and compared with the triplet and swing rhythm. Students learn to recognize the interval of a 7th and explore its sound in jazz and traditional settings. This level continues to build keyboard skills and artistry, grouping multiple notes in a single gesture and guiding more fast finger strategies.
