Why Piano Adventures?First and foremost, Piano Adventures is student-centred.Approach to PianismTeachers will find the appealing variety of sounds and styleseducates and motivates. The technique exercises and pianisticrepertoire of the course lay the foundation for expressiveplaying. And the pedagogy of Piano Adventures, which soeffectively combines the strengths of intervallic, multi-key, andMiddle C approaches, has set an exciting musical standard fortoday’s piano teacher.Pianistic pieces and songs with fanciful lyrics are one of thehallmarks of the Fabers’ material. All of the music in PianoAdventures has been specifically composed to build a strongtechnical and artistic approach to playing.Approach to ReadingMany teachers have experienced some frustration withstudents who have not mastered note reading. PianoAdventures has established a new model for piano methodswith its composite approach to note reading. The abilityto read music is developed by effectively integrating threeessential skills: 1) discrete note recognition; 2) intervallicreading; and 3) a multi-key understanding. These are carefullysequenced and reinforced to build successful readers.The Piano Adventures approach to reading has severalimportant benefits:Prevents the student from equating a particular note to aparticular finger.Teaches the precise relationship between a note writtenon the staff and its matching key on the piano.Allows for a free and balanced drop of the arm and handinto the finger for a full, round tone.Avoids the overuse of two thumbs on Middle C.Reduces the student’s dependence on fixedhand positions.The early levels of Piano Adventures offer a valuable set-upfor each piece. The student is required to identify the firstnote for each hand, write the note name in the blank provided,and then place the hand correctly on the keys according tothe finger number given. The student learns the fundamentalprocedure of music reading and becomes self-sufficient inthis process.Concurrent with individual note reading, the student isrequired to read by the contour of the musical line — step orskip, up or down. This intervallic reading approach promotesfluency, recognition of melodic patterns, and understanding ofthe musical line.Starting from Primer, well-written pieces developfluent piano technique. Even beginning songs arewritten to encourage freedom at the keyboard, topromote a relaxed wrist, and to introduce gestures thatcarry the hand across the full range of the instrument.The method presents essential pianistic gestures calledTechnique Secrets — from Wrist Float-offs to a LightHand Bounce to Alignment for beautiful scale playing.Easy and effective use of the damper pedal opensup the rich sonority of the instrument and promotesactive listening.Imagination and ArtistryThe lyrics, art, and musical imagination embedded in PianoAdventures make it keenly attractive to children. A methodcan only be as good as its music and the imaginative musicof Piano Adventures shines.In addition, the Technique & Performance Books presentessential Technique Secrets, exercises, and etudes that leadto expressive Performance Pieces. This structured pathinvites the teacher to bring his/her own imagination andartistry into the lesson.Piano Adventures offers short Discovery or Creativequestions with each piece. These foster “habits” of analysisand creative exploration.Student AppealStudents are attracted to the wide variety of sounds andmoods of the music in Piano Adventures. The pacing works.Years of painstaking pilot testing have ensured a methodthat has wide student appeal. Literally over one hundredpieces that did not “pass the test” of student enthusiasm werediscarded and replaced, until the method met the standardsand musical tastes of both piano student and teacher. Theappeal of the music and carefully structured pedagogy havebeen confirmed by thousands of letters and comments fromteachers and students worldwide.At Level 2A, with the student firmly grounded in notereading, a multi-key approach is presented. Here the studentlearns the major and minor 5-finger patterns in C, G, D, andA. Not so many as to overwhelm the student’s reading or tobecome tedious, but enough to grasp transposition and basicchord recognition. At Level 2B, the complete major scale isintroduced along with key signatures and primary chords (I,IV, and V7) in the keys of C, G, and F.3
