Piano/Keyboard - Young Beginner - Pre-Reading
SKU: HL.420259
Lesson Book A with Online Audio. Composed by Nancy Faber and Randall Faber. Faber Piano Adventures®. Instructional and Method. Book and online audio. 88 pages. Faber Piano Adventures #FF1619. Published by Faber Piano Adventures (HL.420259).ISBN 9781616776190. UPC: 674398219551. 9x12 inches.
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. Outstanding audio tracks via online access for the young student to listen, sing, tap, and play along with at the piano. The orchestrated songs feature children singing the lyrics, which has great appeal to the 5-6 year old beginner. The audio 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 audio 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.

I love these books with
I love these books with the musical friends and the kiddos do too. The digital music is superb and the basic musical concepts that are taught, give kiddos a running start in piano. Because it's lots of fun, and there are 3 levels A, B, and C, the foundation laid is firm. I totally recommend Faber for everything they offer.

I LOVE THIS
I LOVE this series. My students love it and find it so fun! I can skip ahead or review lessons easily and do their favorite songs over again as they gain skills. Sometimes I use the CD, sometimes I don't. But the progression of the lessons is excellent.

Learning wrapped up with lots of fun!
This is a great book to start 5 year olds with. The musical friends are a big hit and my students develop a close musical relationship with them, as they see them pictured on every page.

Great Book
My 4 year old daughter really enjoys this series. The CD Songs are not too fast, and the lessons are not too hard. If you have a limited music background and you try to teach this, it could be rather frustrating. But with a good teacher and a willing student I highly recommend this!! We will be continuing with the next book.

Frustrating, but cute
I love Faber Piano Adventures for my students, so I decided to give this one a go for my beginner 4 yr-old. The thought of the cd was grand! It's a nice book, but there are a few negative things. The tracks on the CD are played so extremely fast, there's no way my poor student's little fingers can keep up. Frustrating. Also, the book itself is not explained in an understandable manner, for teacher or parent. Also frustrating. Otherwise, it's creative and cute. But not user-friendly.

A nice surprise!
This is the first time I have used this method book...my young student is enjoying it so much! It is good to be able to focus on development of hand position and fluidity before getting bogged down with all that goes in to music reading. The CD makes the time enjoyable. After a 30 minute lesson, the little girl has said, It's time to go already???

Great for Beginners
The Piano Adventures series is very kid friendly, and uses a logical and systematic approach. I was very impressed with this book for the young beginner. The included CD provides the cute accompaniment, allowing me to focus on the student. Excellent!

Excellent for young children
This is a wonderful piano method for very young beginners. Children are captivated by the piano friends (Mille, Marta, Carlos, Dallas, and Katie). I like how the method works to shape the hand and fingers and stresses fluid motion in the wrist. The method is wonderful for the short attention spans of young children. I highly recommend purchasing this method WITH the CD. Children adore the short tuneful songs, and the CD makes practicing really FUN!

My 1st Piano Adventure
I am very pleased with this for the young beginner who does not know finger numbers, alphabei, or singing. This encourages all. I have used it with 4 families. When one student is finished, a younger sibling takes an interest.

Highly recommend!
I'm very pleased with this lesson book and accompanying CD. I have two students who are pre-readers and like having activities, songs with familiar tunes to teach music concepts, coordination helps, and the idea of music being fun. I highly recommend this book and CD for young beginners.
