Piano Safari

Authors: Katherine Fisher, Julie Knerr

Piano Safari for the Older Student employs the same exemplary pedagogy used in the highly regarded series for children but has been strategically modified to include more sophisticated themes. It moves at an accelerated pace and is recommended for students age ten through adult.

Repertoire & Technique Level 1 contains newly composed pieces alongside favorites from the series for children. There is a brief period of pre-staff notation followed with reading by interval on the staff. Rote Pieces are included to enhance aural skills, technique, pattern recognition, and motivation. Foundational techniques such as arm weight, fast repeated notes, slurs, rotation, non legato, and legato are presented. Product Information: Spiral Binding. 101 Pages. Audio Tracks included.

Sight Reading & Theory Level 1 corresponds with Repertoire & Technique but may also stand alone as a sight reading supplement. Theory concepts in each unit are followed by melodies and rhythms that provide substantial practice with reading notation. Analysis suggestions are provided for each example to aid students in developing analytical skills. Product Information: 64 Pages.

The Level 1 Pack contains:
