Faber Piano Adventures My First Piano Adventure - Lesson Book B Steps on the Staff - Faber - Piano - Book/CD

For The Young Beginner

Composers: Nancy Faber, Randall Faber
Format: Softcover with CD
Instrumentation: Piano
Level: Young Beginner - Steps on the Staff

Book B of the Fabers' method for the young beginner moves the student into staff-reading. Music notation is explored through stepwise directional reading, pattern recognition, and changing hand positions, all in the context of engaging songs, games and creative exploration at the piano. Maintaining the child-centred philosophy of the series, the "friends at the piano" from the A Books introduce students to the music of two new composer friends - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. Classic themes share the stage with contemporary pop and jazz sounds for young ears to absorb and enjoy.

The Book B CD presents a vibrant mix of sounds, from boogie to Beethoven. It serves as a listening CD which educates and as an accompaniment CD for play-along.
