Designed for 5 and 6-year-olds, My First Piano Adventure® captures the child's playful spirit. Fun-filled songs, rhythm games, and technique activities develop basic keyboard skills. Three distinctive features of Lesson Book A make it unique and effective for young beginners aged 5 to 6: 1. An emphasis on technique, integrated throughout the book, through fun technical games, chants, and carefully composed pieces that gently guide the child into pianistic movements. 2. Exceptional audio tracks, accessible online, allow young students to listen, sing, tap, and play along. The orchestrated songs feature children singing the lyrics, a delight for 5 to 6-year-old beginners. The audio becomes a ready-to-use practice partner that guides the student and their parents through all the pieces and activities in the book. 3. The original illustrations feature five multicultural children who are also learning to play. These piano friends introduce basic rhythms, the names of the white keys, and a variety of songs on white and black keys, ranging from classical to folk and blues. Young students will learn to listen, sing, create, and play more musically with My First Piano Adventure (Lesson Book A) by Nancy and Randall Faber. This book introduces pre-reading, basic music theory, and technique, with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the keyboard. Young students will enjoy the presence of multicultural "piano friends" who introduce them to the names of the white keys, basic rhythms, and a variety of songs ranging from classical to folk and blues. Aural and visual training are also part of the program. The Faber "ACE" pedagogy (Analysis, Creativity, and Expression) guides the teaching of My First Piano Adventure. Analysis leads to understanding, creativity to self-discovery, and expression develops personal artistry. The audio for this book offers a unique listening experience through exceptional orchestrations and vocals. The recordings illustrate a key principle of the course: when children listen, sing, tap, and move to the rhythm of their piano, they play more musically.
