Download or read book Lesson Plans for Beginning Piano Teachers of Beginning Pianists written by Beverly Grace Joy and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesson Plans is the companion guide for Piano ABC's Level One. The purpose of this resource is two-fold: First, to support and guide young teachers working with beginning pianists; and next, to encourage and facilitate their use of the unique new method, Piano ABC's, a method for beginning pianists which has proven repeatedly to be very effective with beginners-children, teens and adults. It is intended that young teachers will develop effective teaching habits building on the wealth of pedagogical experience garnered over an extensive teaching career of more than 30 years by the author. The presentation and teacher notes for the first lessons are very detailed and thorough so the first-time teacher or one with very limited experience can confidently guide their beginning students through the earliest lesson material. Assuming that students will proceed at individual rates of progress, after the third lesson plan there is a careful and pedagogically sound presentation of each concept and every piece so the teacher can knowledgeably determine and select appropriate material permitting each student to move forward at his own pace.As it has been made available, the author has received strongly supportive responses both from young teachers who have valued the step-by-step detail and from more mature, experienced teachers who have expressed their pleasure as it has enhanced their own teaching.Piano ABC's Level One is a new and unique approach for beginning pianists. The alphabetical approach of Piano ABC's is very easy and seemingly obvious. As with many relatively simple but effective solutions, it has awaited discovery for many years. Students often comment on how logical and easy it is to learn to read notes. Rhythm/meter studies include easily drawn graphic proportional symbols that students write under notes along with counting as they analyze and assimilate this information. The studies in counting are also supported as the student learns to conduct while the teacher plays and then plays while the teacher conducts.If you follow these Lesson Plans, as your students progress through Piano ABC's Level One they should become confident readers and will often anticipate how to read notes not yet presented. And, . . they will not form the useless and obstructive (sometimes permanent) associations between eye, note, key, and finger that so often result from the plus-hundred-year-old "Middle C" approach. Rather they will learn to read notes according to their staff identity. Thus, students will not wonder "which finger to push" or "where to put their hands."The diverse styles of pieces as well as their creative titles will (with perhaps a little prompting) encourage students to develop their musical and aesthetic imaginations.Read what Megan has to say: " I absolutely adore the Piano ABCs curriculum. I love the piano, and I love teaching it, but the methods I was using before made it really hard for me as a beginning teacher to easily explain all the things I wanted my students to understand. Lesson Plans, just tells me what to do. I don't have to stress, because all the steps are clearly laid out for both my student and me. The book teaches me how to teach so I can concentrate on introducing the kids to the beautiful and mysterious world of music."

Download or read book My First Piano Adventure Lesson Book A with CD written by and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Faber Piano Adventures ). Written for ages 5 and 6, My First Piano Adventure captures the child's playful spirit. Fun-filled songs, rhythm games and technique activities develop beginning keyboard skills. Three distinguishing features of the Lesson Book A make it unique and effective for the young 5-6 year old beginner. 1. A strong focus on technique embedded in the book through playful technique games, chants, and carefully-composed pieces that gently lead the child into pianistic motions. 2. An outstanding CD for the young student to listen, sing, tap, and play along with at the piano. The orchestrated songs on the CD feature children singing the lyrics, which has great appeal to the 5-6 year old beginner. The CD becomes a ready-made practice partner that guides the student and parent for all the pieces and activities in the books. 3. The fanciful art features five multi-cultural children who are also learning to play. These friends at the piano introduce basic rhythms, white key names, and a variety of white and black-key songs that span classical, folk, and blues. Young students will listen, sing, create, and play more musically with Nancy and Randall Faber s My First Piano Adventure, Lesson Book A. The Lesson Book introduces directional pre-reading, elementary music theory and technique with engaging songs, games, and creative discovery at the keyboard. Young students will enjoy the multi-cultural "friends at the piano" who introduce white-key names, basic rhythms, and a variety of songs which span classical, folk, and blues. Ear-training and eye-training are also part of the curriculum. The Fabers' instructional theory "ACE" - Analysis, Creativity, and Expression, guides the pedagogy of My First Piano Adventure. Analysis leads to understanding, creativity leads to self-discovery, and expression develops personal artistry. The CD for this book offers a unique listening experience with outstanding orchestrations and vocals. The recordings demonstrate a key principle of the course: when children listen, sing, tap, and move to their piano music, they play more musically. View Helpful Introductory Videos Here

Download or read book Piano ABC s Level One written by Beverly Grace Joy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beginning piano method appeals to piano beginners of all ages. It presents an easily understood, innovative, and logical approach to note reading and rhythm. Beginning piano students, adults and teen piano beginners as well as children who start lessons with the Piano ABC's beginner book, learn quickly to read logically and with confidence, so they generally accomplish in one book what would require multiple books from most of the current traditional beginning piano methods. Subsequent levels of the Piano ABC's beginner piano method continue to facilitate a faster pace for understanding musical concepts and for well-coordinated playing. Learning to read notes (letter names) is very simple and intuitive. Rhythmic instruction integrates physical and intellectual activities, and introduces easily written graphic symbols to help students understand the proportional relationships between longer and shorter notes as well as the various metrical (time signature) patterns. These beginner piano books present attractive, original compositions in diverse styles and modes that have been created with the student in mind (parents have commented that they do not tire of listening to these pieces); and the engaging illustrations by Francois Arnaud will stimulate students' artistic imaginations. The several "streams" of music theory and pedagogical categories introduced in the Piano ABC's Level One beginner piano method are continued and expanded in all other levels throughout. This is an original, unique, patented, beginner piano method endorsed by nationally- and internationally-acclaimed piano pedagogues. The organized and clearly presented lessons progress steadily and are easily understood visually and conceptually by both teacher and student. If you are teaching the Piano ABC's Level One beginner piano method for the first time, be sure to check out "Lesson Plans for Beginning Piano Teachers of Beginning Pianists" in which the author provides a wealth of information to facilitate the teaching of beginning piano students. Even experienced teachers have lauded "Lesson Plans" as a very helpful resource to enhance their own professional expertise when teaching the beginner piano method Piano ABC's to children, teens, and adult piano beginners. This beginner piano book, with its subsequent levels in the Piano ABC's curriculum, clearly demonstrates that students can easily learn to read successfully never being exposed to the C-position approach used in most beginning piano methods that has obstructed fluent reading for many students for too long.
