Piano ABC's - Level One: Beginning at the Beginning

This beginning piano method for beginners of all ages uses an easily understood innovative and logical approach to note reading and rhythm. Beginning students who start lessons with Piano ABC's learn quickly to read with confidence, so they generally accomplish in one book that which might require multiple books from many current traditional methods. Subsequent levels of Piano ABC's continue to facilitate a faster pace for understanding musical concepts and for well-coordinated playing when compared to the pacing of many of the most popular beginning piano methods. Learning to read notes (letter names) is very easy. Rhythmic instruction integrates physical and intellectual activities as well as the writing of easily understood proportional graphic symbols to help students grasp metrical and rhythmic concepts. Attractive pieces in diverse styles and modes have been composed with the student in mind; and the engaging illustrations by professional Parisian artist, François Arnaud, will stimulate students' artistic imaginations. The several “streams” of music theory and pedagogical categories introduced in Piano ABC's Level One are continued and expanded in other levels throughout. This is a unique, patented beginner piano method endorsed by nationally-acclaimed piano pedagogues.
