This piano method contains a collection of pieces and may also be used as a repertoire book. The method gives students the opportunity to build on prior learning and fully assimilate the material as the pieces become increasingly difficult.
Musical concepts are presented one at a time, with examples and exercises provided in the Appendices. Students then put these new concepts into practice as they learn and perform the pieces, further exploring and assimilating the new ideas and skills.
In Book One, the hands remain in the same position on the keyboard to help students learn the songs more easily. This allows them to focus on rhythm, fingers and hand coordination without worrying too much about the notes. The finger numbers above the notes gradually disappear so that students develop their music reading skills.
