The interest in piano and the desire to play, has increased tremendously in the past few years. Especially is this noticeable among adults who have either had some elementary piano instruction in their youth or have been denied this study for verious reasons. This increased interest is partly due to the widespread influence of radio. Hearing music almost daily has become an integral part of our lives and it is this constant influence which has awakended a keen and natural desire to become an active participant. Is is to the furtherance and stimulation of this natural desire that this course was planned. The adult approach has been kept constantly in mind, however not to the exclussion of certain basic principles which are necessary in order to make rapid and satisfactory progress. The logical and stepwise manner of progression in this course should prove of inestimable ain to both the student and teacher.

The Michael Aaron Piano Primer was written especially for young children. Many years of specialization in the teaching of children have made the author keenly aware of three essentials in a teacher's approach. They are understanding, sympathy and encouragement. These thoughts have guided and influenced the author in his general plan and selection of material for this book.

Piano Technique Book 5, the final book in our piano technique series, builds upon technical skills mastered in previous levels, with imaginative exercises appropriate for the intermediate-level student. Through engaging warm-ups and etudes, students are encouraged to explore diatonic and chromatic scales, chords, inversions, and chord progressions. The exercises also focus on important intermediate-level skills, including: finger substitutions, extended and contracted hand positions, grace notes, playing a waltz bass, and refinement of articulation and coordination. The exercises are carefully correlated to the music in Piano Lessons Book 5 of the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library. This book continues to emphasize our message that 'the music makes a difference!'

Podręcznik przeznaczony jest dla dzieci rozpoczynających naukę w wieku 5-6 lat. Materiał podzielony jest na cztery części. Pierwsza zawiera duety dla ucznia i nauczyciela, opracowane z wykorzystaniem metody beznutowej oraz proste utwory do grania z nut. Wiele z nich to piosenki, których proste teksty służą oswojeniu z nowymi zagadnieniami i ułatwiają ich zapamiętanie. Druga część poświęcona jest nauce gry legato i ćwiczeniu niezależności rąk, wprowadzane są dwudźwięki i trójdźwięki. Część trzecia to zbiór utworów podsumowujących, w których wprowadzone wcześniej techniki pojawiają się w bardziej zaawansowanej formie, a ostatnia to wybór miniatur dydaktycznych kompozytorów różnych epok. Większość utworów zamieszczonych w publikacji skomponowała autorka podręcznika. Zróżnicowała je pod względem wyrazu (walce, marsze, polki czy kołysanki) i nadała ilustracyjny charakter tak, by bez trudu rozbudzały wyobraźnię dziecka. W wielu utworach pobrzmiewają delikatnie dysonansowe współbrzmienia. W podręczniku wykorzystana jest metoda pracy polegająca na grze dziecka w duecie z nauczycielem, pojawiają się również ćwiczenia a vista oraz improwizacje. Publikacja zawiera ponadto zestaw podstawowych gam oraz mały słowniczek muzyczny.

Music Street is a three-year program for beginners four or five years of age. Students are motivated through various singing and playing activities as they are introduced to all the note names and animals that live on Music Street. Unlike many courses for young children, the Tritone Junior Courses create students who develop good performance skills within their first year, while still developing their ear and reading skills, ensemble playing, and understanding music fundamentals. Students and parents will be encouraged, if not amazed, at what can be accomplished at such a young age, and how much fun it is.

The short, lively, and easy-to-master selections in this book offer beginning piano students musical experience that is entertaining as well as rewarding. Each selection in this companion book to the Robert Pace Keyboard Series reinforces concepts of the core books, including: • Practice in line, space, and pattern recognition; in performance of basic rhythms; and in indentification of these rhythms both by sight and by sound; • A sparking of the student's imagination, as the student is guided to expand upon each piece in this collection and create his or her own improvisations and compositions; • Lasting fun, becasue the reinforcement of reading, writing, and listening skills supports ongoing musical learning and enjoyment. The CD provides many helpful functions, including modeling the music, providing ensemble playing experience, and tracks in various tempos for practice and performance.

This book is to be used in conjunction with Moppets' Rhythms and Rhymes, teacher's Book.
Moppels' Rhythms and Rhymes is a collection of game songs set to strongly rhythmical verses (some Mother Groose) for children from four through seven. While this may seem like a wide age span, Rhythms and Rhymes Teacher's Book explains how the various activities can be used to suit several levels of development.
Rhythms and Rhymes focuses on strengthening the children's innate sense of rhythm and their understanding of melodic direction through body movements, the use of the piano keyboard, rhythm instruments and rhythmical poems and games. It should be used with groups of at least four.
Although the book is planned specifically as a part of the Music for Moppets pre-piano course to be given in the teacher's own music studio, it can also be used very effectively in nursery school, kindergarten, and first grade.
On completion of the Music for Moppets course, the children should be well prepared to continue in a more formalized study for piano, or any other instrument.

Provides essentials for the development of musical understanding and skill. Includes an introduction to major and minor diatonic chord progressions, and suggestions for students to develop their own musical ideas.

Provides essentials for the development of musical understanding and skill. Includes an introduction to major and minor diatonic chord progressions, and suggestions for students to develop their own musical ideas.

The main objective of the Creative Keyboard book is to provide a balance of the various elements that are essential in the development of musical understanding and skill. An early acquaintance with both major and minor diatonic chord progressions will enable students to understand "common practice" harmony on which so much of our music is based. In addition Creative Keyboard acquaints students with interesting ways to develop their own musical ideas through many examples of "Question and Answer". However, to get maximum benefit from these creative experiences, students should "think out" what they want in their Answer Before they begin to play the Question.

Creative Music I Revised contains materials both for sight reading, transposition, and for improvisation which are closely related to those presented in Music for Piano I Revised. Here the learners reapply in slightly altered fashion the basic musical ideas just encountered. The goal is for students to be able to read and understand music at the level of their current technical advancement and to be able to apply the appropriate concepts to each new example.
This book provides a wide variety of related musical materials to diversify each person's learning experiences. Students should transpose as much as time permits and create literally an infinite variety of musical examples of their own. The nurturing of individual productivity and appreciation of quality performance are crucial components of the growth motivation that will stimulate for further learning.
Students should improvise many examples before notating one and should do that as quickly as possible. Teachers should focus on the learning processes so that students will be able to achieve better, more interesting products.

Creative Music II provides the necessary materials for the continued development of good music reading skills and the expansion of creative activities. Each pair of facing pages (pp. 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.) contains examples which are conceptually the same, yet slightly altered from those in Music for Piano II so that students continually experience an "indirect transfer" of previous learning.
All even numbered pages (left hand side of the book) contain related reading examples arranged in a cumulative sequence to enable students to deal effectively with progressively more complex music. This reading material provides a balance of keys, meters and compositional styles and should be practiced a few minutes each day. Students should transpose as indicate and some may want to include additional keys if time permits. Also, after two or three days, students can practice their "creative reading" by changing a few notes here and there. But they should always plan ahead and decide on what is to be done. Or students may add upper or lower neighbors, or even change melodic direction by inversion, sequences, etc. Again, students should "think it out" before playing, and keep their eyes on the music as they make their changes. Don't let students look at the keyboard when using notation. Rather, help them develop a sense of "feel" as to where their hands are or where they need to move.

The subject matter of Creative Music IV follows the same basic organization as Theory Papers IV, with both books reflecting the general musical and theoretical problems presented in Music For Piano IV. And, as in the previous books, the even numbered pages present the reading problems while the odd numbered pages deal with creative activities. This book may be used alone or in conjunction with Music For Piano, Theory Papers, and Finger Builders IV.

This book presents the essential materials and technic for learning to play any keyboard instrument in an interesting easy-to-follow format.

This book, combined with "Reading and writing" presents a balanced musical diet for the young piano beginner. From the outset, the student learns to transfer his newly acquired knowledge to many slighty different but related situations. Sequential organization of materials enables the student to understand what he is learning and to communicate this to his peers in good group instruction. As each new concept or idea is explored, the student can actually teach it to himself and his partners in the group interaction. Individuality and creative expression are crucial components of this learning experience.
