To the student of any age, Piano Adventures offers an exciting exploration. The wide and varied curriculum gives opportunities to engage with the sound, sight, and story of music.

To the teacher, Piano Adventures embraces a philosophy and mission to develop the student’s “musical mind and heart.” This approaches teaching as a wholistic act — an artistic connection with the student, the music, and the instrument.

The process of guiding a person to develop the mind (through the intellect) and the heart (through expression) can awaken a desire to learn, bring forth sensitivity to artistic gesture and nuance, and foster understanding of how process relates to product.

To this end, we teach and learn with A C E—analyze, create, and express. These three action words are a statement of our philosophy for teaching and our own self-renewal.

The Faber Philosophy: Analyze, Create, Express

®

ElementaryKindergartenPreschool

76

The Faber Philosophy: Analyze, Create, Express

Express … Let’s Communicate

The origin of “express” is Latin for a “pressing out.”

In music, expression begins with listening that primes the player to communicate an emotion or mood.

The teacher is the bridge!

Through a variety of communication and teaching strategies we can animate and elevate our students’ ability to express.

In this Piano Adventures 2020-2021 Catalog, you will see the “seeds” of the Faber’s A C E philosophy embedded throughout the contents. Look for the following:

• Top Things to Know

• Top Things to See

• Top Things to Do

• Photos of “A C E in Action”

Create … Let’s Explore and Imagine

The origin of “create” is Latin and means “to make.”

We can find opportunities to make choices and changes within the piece we are teaching or learning. Choice, change, and challenge = creativity!

Analyze … Let’s Think about It

The origin of “analyze” is Greek and means “to break apart.”

The way we teach a piece should “break apart” its elements to show how the music is put together.

Chinese New Year Also known as Spring Festival, this is China’s most important holiday. It is a celebration to bring families together and lasts over two weeks! The main activities are decorating, a fine family dinner on New Year’s Eve, enjoying the wonder of fireworks, and offering red envelopes (money) and other gifts.

Lantern Festival The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the 15th day after the Spring Festival and marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. On this day families gather together to eat sticky rice balls with a sweet filling. At night, children carry lanterns outside and try to solve riddles written on them.

Dragon Boat Festival This festival has existed for thousands of years and has many legends about its origins. Racing dragon boats and throwing Zongzi (sticky rice covered by bamboo wraps) into the river was a way to honor the Dragon King. People also use this day to remember the famous Chinese poet and scholar Quyuan (Chu Quan).

Elephant Trunk Hill This rock formation looks like an elephant drinking water with its trunk from the Li River. Can you see it?

The Chinese Unicorn This mythical Chinese unicorn is a symbol of good luck. Folklore tells that a unicorn would appear as a sign of the birth of a very wise, kind ruler. The unicorn has one horn, a yellow belly, the feet of a horse, and a tail like an ox.

Toad Known as a symbol for business success and wealth, the three-legged golden toad, sitting on coins, with a coin in its mouth can be found all around China.

Peony This beautiful, lush flower with its round bloom is the floral symbol of China. It is seen as a sign of good fortune, honor, and a happy marriage and life.

Phoenix The beautiful phoenix is the highest of all birds and represents virtue and grace.

Dombra The dombra is a traditional instrument from west China. It has a long neck, two strings and an oblong body. Its sound is sweet and unique.

Terracotta Army This sculpted army was created by the Emperor over 2000 years ago. Archeologists have discovered over 8000 soldiers, 130 chariots, and 670 horses. More than 700,000 people worked on the Terracotta Army and each terracotta warrior is a unique figure. It is considered one of the great wonders of the world.

Sayram Lake This beautiful lake covers about 175 miles. Its water is pure and clear and often called “the last teardrop of the Atlantic.” Described as a fairyland of nature, the lake has ducks, swans, sheep, and wild horses on the surrounding mountain.

Beijing is the capital of China. It is home to the longest wall in the world and the largest group of palaces called The Forbidden City.

The Bund

Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world with over 24 million people. Known as the “city that never sleeps,” it is home to the world’s fastest train and many cultural sites, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and The Bund, a famous city waterfront and symbol of Shanghai blending old and new.

The Oriental Pearl Tower

is 1,535 feet high.

The Great Wall is over 13,000 miles long and took over 282 years to build.

South Lion Drum This drum, made from leather, is mainly used as an accompaniment for the lion dance in southern China. It is most commonly seen in Guangdong and Fujian. This drum can also be used in a drum ensemble.

Fengyang Flower-Drum This folk art form originated from Fengyang, Anhui province. This difficult art form requires the performers to simultaneously dance, sing, and play the drums, which is a true feat!

A P I C T U R E T O U R O F C H I N A

The Forbidden City has over 8,700 rooms.

Playful dances, little monkeys on bicycles, moon gazing, and a dragon lantern dance are a few of the sights and sounds in this one-of-a-kind collection of Chinese piano music.

The six graded levels are offered in the PreTime to BigTime Piano Library for beginning to early advanced pianists. Each book offers an artistic foray into tone, dynamics, and articulation. The vibrant and picturesque imagery is especially well-suited for recitals and other performance occasions.

Top 5 Things to Know

1. This series is loosely graded to the levels of the Piano Adventures method.

2. The books present traditional melodies as well as the music of Chinese composers.

3. Teacher Duets in PreTime, PlayTime, and ShowTime offer harmonic richness and exciting rhythms.

4. Articulation and pedaling contribute to the “sound of China” and are carefully notated in the music.

5. Picture Tours of China offer an educational, visual look at history and culture. Plus, each book offers improvisation and a Guided Student Composition activity to draw students into the Chinese sound.

Scales and arpeggios are the backbone of confident and polished playing. Practicing these two “pillars of technique” develops dexterity, control and, importantly, recognition of keyboard patterns. With this in mind, Piano Adventures Scale and Chord Book 3 has three objectives:

• To play two, three, and four-octave scales and arpeggios securely and accurately.

• To understand scale geography through transposition exercises based on tonic, dominant, and leading tone.

• To use alignment, wrist circles, a “weightless” thumb, and more for scales that are pearly, rippling, or roaring!

New! Piano Adventures Scale and Chord Book 3


1. Progress Charts for all scales, arpeggios, inversions, etc. provide tracking of student progress.

2. Gestural marks include arrows to help students integrate wrist motion with finger action.

3. Encourage memorization of 2-octave scales in 8th notes, 3-octaves in triplets, and 4-octaves in 16ths.

4. Chord progressions and their transposition are a catalyst for student analysis, improvisation, and composition.

5. Scale Book 3 is a resource that can be referenced again and again for technical progress.

I have been using it all week long introducing all my students. So far I think it is outstanding, suddenly makes sight reading really fun! Fantastic!!!

I love it! My students really like the scoring function. When they see 90% note accuracy but 60% rhythm accuracy, they really start to get what I’ve been trying to tell them!

Top 5 Things to See

1. The “friends at the piano” tie in musical concepts. Comment on the art to create a musical conversation.

2. Technique is expressed within the songs, rather than treated as a separate subject.

3. Students begin with black-key songs that move across the range of the keyboard.

4. Students learn note values, then analyze rhythm patterns for fluent reading.

5. Playing with all ten fingers is introduced with the C 5-finger scale.

Top 5 Things to Do

1. Always play the teacher duet to express the character of the song.

2. To develop eye-tracking, play the audio while the student points to the notes in rhythm.

3. Ask students to analyze patterns and memorize a piece each week.

4. Play the C 5-finger scale all over the keyboard. Express different dynamics!

5. Circle things in the music: f-p, bar lines, patterns, etc.

The Best Advice

As a teacher, listen to the audio tracks and memorize the words to the activity songs.

Analyze the rhythm.

Create the rhythm in your body.

Express the dynamics.

Lesson p.52 (Theme from the “London” Symphony) 39FF1079

Top 5 Things to See

1. Level 1 uses 3 bass clef “Smart Notes” as a reading tool. Have students analyze their locations, then play and name at lessons.

2. “Firely,” written in the C-5-finger scale, introduces transposing to the G 5-finger scale.

3. Level 1 expands artistic expression with legato touch, slur, staccato, and accent.

4. 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths are taught through analysis of melody, harmony, technique, and ear-training.

5. Chords in songs often occur on weak beats to promote balance between the hands.

Top 5 Things to Do

1. Learn the 4 Technique Secrets.

2. Play technique exercises by memory to concentrate on hand shape and tone.

3. Learn more 5-finger scales at any time in Level 1. (Lesson Bk. pp. 62-63)

4. Explore the Discovery questions. Let students read them aloud.

5. Analyze the patterns and memorize one piece from each unit.

The Best Advice

As you present something new, ask the student questions to focus attention on the score and confirm how much they know. “Find 3 C chords. Where does line 1 repeat? What does the word rit. mean? Great!”

I I V7

Harmonize Haydn with I and V7 chords!

“Scarf Dance” as a recital duet. (Lesson Bk. p. 45) Mirroring motions for artistry.

Top 5 Things to See1. Reading with “guide notes” builds confidence.

Start lessons with E-G-B Mouse Adventures for creative, fun “note drill.” (Lesson Bk. pp. 6-7)

2. Help students analyze, clap, and write by memory the three 8th-note patterns used at Level 2A. (Lesson Bk. p.10)

3. The teacher duets give 8th-note practice within a more complex rhythmic setting. (Ex. Lesson Bk. p. 11)

4. Transposing requires reading by interval.

5. Preparatory Piano Literature is a good choice for students ready for a classical music challenge.

Top 5 Things to Do1. Explore expressive 5-finger scales with

a cresc. going up and a dim. going down.

2. Consider teaching all 12 major 5-finger scales. Analyze using the formula: whole-whole-half-whole. (Lesson Bk. pp. 62-63)

3. Keep creatively reviewing earlier pieces through transposition, a faster tempo, making up a longer ending, etc. Award a sticker for each review piece.

4. Memorize one piece from each unit.

5. Consider offering a ShowTime book.

The Best AdviceStart or end the lesson with a duet. Let the student choose the piece and set the tempo.

Jazz Blast ImprovisationImprovise means to make up “on the spot.”

You are ready to improvise your own cool sounds for Jazz Blast. Here’s how:

1. Use the C minor 5-finger scale, plus cross over to B¯! Play the keys in any order.

2. To start, set your R.H. over the keys and let your teacher begin. Feel the beat before you start playing.

3. Hint: Play lots of repeated notes, experiment with steps and skips, and play a few very l-o-n-g notes.

4. When your teacher says, “Now go back to Jazz Blast,” play Jazz Blast on page 54 once again to end.

DAY 3: Ode to Joy____ 5-Finger Scale

Tap the rhythm of measures 1-2 before sightreading.


Level 2A Sightreading pursues filling a student’s “toolbox” with various melodic and rhythmic patterns, now with major and minor 5-finger scales.

These carefully composed sets of variations on Lesson Book pieces present core 8th note patterns in a variety of settings. Automatic recognition of basic 8th note

patterns— their look and sound— is essential for reading success. Students play one exercise a day, completing one or more sets per week.

The Sightreading Coach (p. 20) offers digital, game-like motivation for at-home practice.

Basic Piano Adventures: Level 2B

Level 2B presents the one-octave scale and nothing is ever the same! Crossing the thumb under allows quick travel up and down the keys. Scale patterns become part of reading, transposing, and technique. Cross-hand arpeggios add new vistas to chord playing and creativity.

Dvořák, Beethoven, and J.S. Bach join the composer cadre, as well as famous traditional tunes and Faber originals.

During Level 2B, students can play a myriad of songs from the buffet of styles in ChordTime Piano books (see p. 45).

Top 10 Things to Know1. A reading system that builds

on scale patterns, intervals, and I, IV, and V7 chords

2. New rhythm pattern:

3. Keys of C, G, and F tonic, dominant, leading tone

4. Cross-hand arpeggios

5. Musical form: A B and A B A

6. Connected pedaling

7. Lead sheet for applied theory

8. Intervals of a 6th, 1st and 2nd endings, a tempo, D.C. al Fine, eighth rest, accidentals, and pianissimo

9. Four Level 2B Technique Secrets: - Arm Weight - Slur Gesture - Light Thumb - Connected Pedaling

F Major Scale Fingering

Lesson p.59 (The Ultimate F Scale Warm-up)FF1085 43

Top 5 Things to See1. Learning ledger line Low C and ledger

line High C allows for slow arcs or quick leaps across the keys.

2. Chord analysis expands with major and minor cross-hand arpeggios.

3. The Ultimate Scale Warm-up offers built-in repetition—5 times up the keys! (Lesson Bk. pp. 21, 29, 59)

4. Teacher duets are still offered at 2B.

5. I, IV, and V7 chords open up various accompaniment patterns, as well as harmonization.

The Best AdviceHave students memorize C, G, and F scales and primary chords. Create your own variations for the “Ultimate Scale Warm-up.” Try dotted rhythms, all staccato and piano, L.H. legato and R.H. staccato, etc. (Lesson Bk. pp. 21, 29, 59)

Top 5 Things to Do1. Begin lessons with cross-hand arpeggios on

the tonic I, the dominant V, then tonic I.

Ex. Key of C: Cross-hand arpeggio on C Cross-hand arpeggio on G Cross-hand arpeggio on C

2. Consider three types of pieces for weekly practice: New, Review, and Just for fun. Let students choose the last category.

3. Demonstrate 2B pieces for students as a model for expressive musicianship.

4. Level 2B transposition broadens outside a 5-finger position with the full major scale.(Lesson Bk. pp. 31, 35, etc.)

5. Keep students sightreading! Consider the 2B Sightreading Book with Sighteading Coach. (see p. 20)

DAY 3: Horse-Drawn CarriageKey of ____ Major

Scan the music. What two chords does the L.H. play?

Level2B Sightreading FF3015 00117301 $6.95

Level 2B Sightreading invigorates a student’s ability to quickly recognize and read scale patterns, dotted rhythms, and I, IV, and V7 chords.

These sets of variations are each thoughtfully composed and spin from the compositional elements and concepts of the Lesson Book pieces. Students play one exercise a

day, completing one or more sets per week. The motto, “Don’t Practice This!” is particularly opportune as students can give it their “best shot” knowing that typical repetition is not the model. Have fun with the Sightreading Coach (p. 20) which offers digital, game-like motivation for at-home practice.

Basic Piano Adventures: Level 3A

Level 3A flexes the student’s “musical muscles” with technique and with artistry. The hands almost always play together, with more rhythmic interplay and independence. Students plan ahead with R.H. and L.H. shifts for fluid execution.

Classical pieces by Türk, Reinagle, Grieg, and Tchaikovsky blend with Japanese, West Indies, and Canadian folk songs—along with American ragtime.

During Level 3A, students can enjoy a varied array of styles with FunTime Piano books (see p. 49).

Top 10 Things to Know1. One-octave scales and their

primary chords in C, G, F, and D major

2. Interval of a 7th

3. Cut time, 3

8 and 6

8 time

4. Triplets

5. Expansion of ledger lines

6. Lead sheet for applied theory

7. The chromatic scale

8. One-octave arpeggios and extended hand positions

9. Four Level 3A Technique Secrets: - Round-off for Phrasing - Relaxed Wrist for Chords - Rotation - Pedal by Ear

LEVEL 3A

4746

Top 5 Things to See1. The Level 2B Review (pp. 4-5)

gives transfer students a quick assessment of basic theory.

2. Musical Form Checks are throughout the books.

3. Consider swing rhythm (p. 40) to give variety to scale practice.

4. Discovery and Creative activities help students look, find, understand, and apply.

5. Pedaling becomes more refined for an artistic sound.

Top 5 Things to Do1. Begin lessons with The Ultimate Scale

Warm-up (p. 8). Guide students to do a slight “round-off” (Technique Secret #1) as the hands lift to the next octave.

2. Students enjoy playing fast! Practice fast pieces in s-l-o-w motion, then faster tempi.


4. Transposing activities in the Lesson Book appear on pp. 13, 25, 31, and 59.

5. After learning the D scale, use the Sightreading Book also as a “transposing book” for D major.

The Best AdviceAsk students what they think. Should they move on from a piece, review it for more polish, or take it just for fun. When students assess themselves, they are more involved in their own learning.

DAY 4: Tchaikovsky’s Theme(for L.H. alone)

DAY 3: Tchaikovsky’s ThemeKey of ____ Major

Silently finger the L.H. chords. Plan how you will play the last R.H. 6th. Is there a sharp?

Scan the music, noticing the finger substitutions in measures 2 and 4.


Level 3A Sightreading propels the student’s understanding of rhythmic patterns as well as quick visual recognition of intervallic patterns.

The sets of sightreading variations are composed to reinforce elements and concepts of the Lesson Book pieces. Students play one exercise a day and complete

one or more sets per week. The motto, “Don’t Practice This!” conveys an important message. This is a moment to “hyper focus” as opposed to “hyper practice.” Have fun with the Sightreading Coach (p. 20) which offers digital, game-like motivation for more in-depth, at-home practice.

Basic Piano Adventures: Level 3B

Level 3B addresses more agility and speed with major and relative minor scales (Am, Dm, and Em). The level offers 2-octave scales for adventurous students ready for a challenge. Chord inversions expand harmonic awareness and playing octaves brings new sonorities.

Classical themes by Beethoven, Rebikov, Liszt, and Pachelbel blend with a lead sheet of a Dvořák melody. A soulful spiritual and learning the 12-bar blues set the stage for more chord analysis and improvisation.

Top 10 Things to Know1. Units grouped by major and

relative minor keys

2. Am, Dm, and Em natural and harmonic minor scales with primary chords (i, iv, V7)

3. Motive and sequence

4. Octave playing and one-octave arpeggios

5. Major/minor 3rds and 12 major and minor triads

6. 12-bar blues chord progression

7. Root position and 1st and 2nd chord inversions

8. 16th-note rhythm patterns

9. Four Level 3B Technique Secrets: - Closed Hand for Scale Passages - The Up-Touch - Voicing the Melody - Open Hand for Extensions

Top 5 Things to Do1. Once students have learned

relative minor, ask for both the major and relative minor key as you start a piece. Coach to name the correct key by noting the harmony and final measure.

2. Find where the Technique Secrets apply in the pieces. Discuss to improve artistry.

3. Memorize a piece, a section of a piece, or an exercise in every unit.

4. Challenge students to memorize Am, Em, and Dm 2-octave minor scales. Play at lessons as a warm-up — each scale 3 times up and down without stopping.

5. Consider the 3B Sightreading Book also as a transposing book for other major and minor keys.

The Best AdviceA great technique involves the “two powerhouses,” scales and arpeggios. Consider creating a daily warm-up in which the student leads with ideas for content. Watch finger agility grow weekly!

GEx.

Lesson p.28 (Two-Octave Scales)

1. • First,writethechord letter name(GorEm)ineachbox.

• LearnthisGmajoraccompaniment.Playwhileyourteacherimprovises a melody higher on the keyboard using the G major scale.


2. • LearnthisEminoraccompaniment.Playwhileyourteacherimprovises a melody higher on the keyboard using the E harmonic minor scale.


3. Write the chord letter name; then circle root position, 1st inversion, or 2nd inversion.

Top 5 Things to Do1. As a regular lesson warm-up,

have students play by memory the Power Scales Routine, with the one beat “turn-around.” (Lesson Bk. pp. 8, 20, 28, 39)

2. Build the student’s repertoire with 5-8 pieces “in the fingers”— ready to play for family and friends. Hear a few each lesson. Hint: Sit away from the piano to create a performance atmosphere.

3. Memorize a piece, a section of a piece, or an exercise in every unit.

4. Can your students write the sharp pattern in less than 30 seconds? Consider a manuscript book!

5. As pieces at Level 4 take longer to learn, consider using the Level 4 Sightreading Book to keep developing reading skills. The exercises may also be transposed to other keys. Consider letting the student decide the key!

The Best AdviceExplain to students that good practice involves a regimen, repetition, and a desire for results. Always practice the technique assignment! Follow a practice plan and identify areas for improvement each week.

Focus sets the stage for artistic performance.

Accompaniments and improv meet major and relative minor keys.

DAY 1: GigueKey of ___ Major

Mentally hear the opening rhythm before sightreading.

SIGHTREADING based on Lesson Book pp. 48–49Level 4 Sightreading FF3029 00140889 $6.95

Never is there a more important time to sightread than as the student progresses to Level 4 and enters into intermediate piano literature.

The challenge begins as students remain on repertoire for several weeks or longer. A volume of reading for processing patterns must accompany the slower, detailed study of classical repertoire. Sightreading Book 4 follows the system of variations on Lesson

Book pieces. Subtle compositional alterations focus attention on melodic and rhythmic patterns. Consider the Sightreading Coach for at-home practice as part of a successful regimen.

Level 5 is a student bridge to the great piano repertoire. The level promotes strong recognition of harmony in many keys. Technique is guided with a focus on scales and arpeggios—playing these fluidly and tension free.

Students study pieces by Clementi, Burgmüller, and Bach, among others. Folk tunes with active L.H. accompaniments, such as “Shenandoah,” mingle with jazz and blues standards.

During Level 5, students may enjoy all the multi-genre BigTime Piano books as they advance with the literature (see p. 55).

Top 10 Things to Know1. Flat key signatures and

writing the flat pattern

2. Tonic, subdominant, and dominant chords in all inversions

3. Three forms of minor scales— natural, harmonic, melodic in Dm, Gm, and Cm and their primary chords

4. Grand cadence: I-IV-I-V-I

5. Transposition of the Grand Cadence Exercise

6. 12

8 time

7. Intervals: major, minor, and perfect

8. The circle of 5ths

9. Two-octave arpeggios and arpeggiated or rolled chord

10. Changing time signatures

Top 5 Things to Do1. Ask the students to memorize

and play Coral Reef Etude in many keys throughout the level (Lesson Bk. p. 6).

2. Identify cadences marked in the pieces.

3. Memorize 3 pieces in the level.

4. Throughout Level 5, have students write the sharp/flat patterns and key signatures until easy.

5. At Level 5, some students enjoy learning a big piece that may take several months. Take the challenge and continue on at a comfortable pace in Level 5 — for progress in theory, harmony, and sightreading.

The Best AdviceFor busy students, the best advice is to give them music they enjoy and help them understand theory. Even if not to the highest performance level, the benefits of piano study are often realized years later. Being a mentor and “fan” of the student as a unique person, while sharing your love of the piano, will have a lasting, positive influence.

Top 5 Things to Do1. As a lesson warm-up, ask the

student to play the major (or minor) 5-finger scale or the one-octave major scale to match the key for each piece.

2. Consider three types of pieces to assign for weekly practice: New, Review, and Just for fun. Let students choose the piece(s) for the last category.


4. Demonstrate Accelerated Book 2 pieces to give a model for artistry. Then ask questions about the piece. What is the key? The mood? Tempo? Time signature? etc.

5. Keep students learning new musical patterns constantly to build facile reading. Consider the Accelerated Sightreading Book in tandem with the Sightreading Coach (see p. 20).

The Best Advice

For the older beginner, perhaps the best advice is to closely follow the interest of the progressing student. The intrinsic interest of the student is a powerful motivator for practice. And practice always yields good results!

CHRISTMAS OVERVIEW

Christmas Collections for All Ages

Our holidays are always uplifted by the sounds of a young pianist playing a Christmas song—We Wish You a Merry Christmas, the beloved carol Silent Night, or a wintry original such as A Ten-Foot Icicle!

Create excitement by starting early in the season so the student might learn the entire book. Decorate the book with stickers as we would hang ornaments on the Christmas tree. Then, over the holidays, the take-home assignment is to play the entire book for family and friends. The party pianist is here!
