Level 1 - Lesson Book: Piano Adventures by Nancy Faber
Level 1 - Lesson Book: Piano Adventures by Nancy Faber is FWIW, I am an experienced teacher with a performance degree from a major U.S. music conservatory.The Faber & Faber books are hands-down the best I have seen for that crucial mix of pedagogy, fun, and variety in songs. The Bastien books, which I used growing up, take awhile to add real variety. The newer kid-targeted Alfred books are a good alternative to these, but the older adult Alfred books are a miserable mix of musical monotony. There needs to be harmonic and melodic variety or else students will not be inspired (and teachers will be musically murdered if all the songs are based on the C 5-finger position).While I admire some of the pedagogy in the Thompson and Schaum series, I find that the books feel "outdated" in their ability to communicate with young beginners in the 2000's. It's a bit like looking at older editions from the 19th century: great for serious study, but harder to read and a bit out-of-touch. I find that Thompson/Schaum throw an awful lot of technical information early on, and this can be overwhelming to the beginner. Kids also like lively, colorful illustrations. I only bring up these details because I think the F&F books are enjoyed by my students more than others.The pacing of the F&F books is suitably slow for the young student these days. They are designed for someone who doesn't practice every day, or isn't fully invested in music, which is a realistic approach given the current student who is overscheduled and isn't committed to regular music practice. I'm just sayin'! For the more motivated students, or ones slightly older, the F&F "for the older beginner" series is much faster in its pacing, and the illustrations and song selections are appropriate for older students.On that note, if you are using the basic Piano Adventures series, keep in mind that these are really geared for YOUNG students, especially the first few books. If you are starting off a 3rd grader or 4th grader, they will often be unimpressed by the lack of "cool" in the books.The biggest challenge of method books is that, if you start the students when they are older, by the time they want to learn a Taylor Swift song, if they haven't made some real progress musically and technically, it becomes a long, hard slog. Get them into these books, get them practicing early, and by the time they are in middle school they will be able to learn the songs they want. If you're lucky, the list might include Bach and Ellington.
Level 1 - Lesson Book: Piano Adventures by Nancy Faber is My son just began using this book and is very happy with it so far. The app that goes along with the music in the book is absolutely wonderful! His teacher recommended that he play along with the CD- this had never occurred to me as a non-musician but I thought that was a fabulous idea, especially for help with rhythm. I ordered the CD and then found out later about the app. Skip the CD and use the app! Great too for visual learners especially.
Level 1 - Lesson Book: Piano Adventures by Nancy Faber is If you are not sure whether to begin with this book or with the Primer level:Use the Primer if your child has no previous piano or musical training. The Primer teaches all of the basic concepts including notes on the grand staff and common musical concepts and terms.Start with the Level 1 only if your child has already completed the Primer book or already has experience playing using the grand staff. Level 1 jumps right in to playing with both hands, and assumes the student already has basic experience with dynamics, tempo, and other musical terms and concepts.If you are unsure, start with the Primer and work through it quickly as a review rather than risk missing important foundations steps by beginning with Level 1. I am a violinist and pianist and was looking for a modern piano method for my 4 kids, and I am happy Faber was recommended to me. I love the original content and progression. It's a plus that you can download the app also!
Level 1 - Lesson Book: Piano Adventures by Nancy Faber is It says Level 1 but it assumes you have some basic knowledge of pianos: keys, reading music, etc.... We are starting from scratch with our first piano and someone suggested this series...however, seems we have a lot of studying to do elsewhere before we can use this book
