Piano Safari: Older Student Pack 1 (Piano Solo)

Piano Safari: Older Student Pack 1 (Piano Solo)

Piano Safari for the Older Student employs the same exemplary pedagogy used in the highly regarded series for children but has been strategically modified to include more sophisticated themes. It moves at an accelerated pace and is recommended for students aged ten through adult.

Repertoire & Technique contains newly composed pieces alongside favourites from the series for children. There is a brief period of pre-staff notation followed with reading by interval on the staff. Rote Pieces are included to enhance aural skills, technique, pattern recognition, and motivation. Foundational techniques such as arm weight, fast repeated notes, slurs, rotation, non-legato, and legato are presented.

Sight Reading & Theory corresponds with Repertoire & Technique but may also stand alone as a sight-reading supplement. Theory concepts in each unit are followed by melodies and rhythms that provide substantial practice with reading notation. Analysis suggestions are provided for each example to aid students developing analytical skills.

Audio Tracks included.
