It is suitable for both private and group lessons.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEncore’s unique whole-pattern methodology is utilised throughout the series. This results in faster learning and fosters the development of musical intelligence.  Students become skilled in reading musical scores, are able to play by ear, transpose pieces into related keys and accomplish other musicianship skills that are rarely explored by other piano methods.  This course develops well-rounded musicians as opposed to students who just read and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-sensory teaching strategies ensure that all learning styles are well supported.  The learning sequence is carefully structured to suit the intended age-range.

The ‘Five-Finger’ system allows students to learn the piano as both a harmonic and melodic instrument. It also treats the right and left hands as equal partners and establishes a versatility that allows the hands to swap parts with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a strong rhythmic and harmonic foundation throughout the \u003cem\u003ePrimary Piano Series\u003c\/em\u003e. Rhythm is the basis of all music-making and harmony is intrinsic to western music. Students are able to make rapid progress because the essential structures that underpin their pieces are quickly grasped as a series of whole-patterns or complete musical units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical foundation skills are integrated throughout the series. This begins with non-legato playing before establishing a legato touch.  Chord playing is taught as an essential skill so that by the end of Book 2, chords I, IV and V7 are known in both hands and in three keys. Students are able to experience a wide range of styles from Baroque to Rock, and Jazz to Pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents who successfully complete the \u003cem\u003ePrimary Piano Series\u003c\/em\u003e advance to the Achiever Piano Series. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKEY ELEMENTS OF THE \u003cem\u003ePRIMARY PIANO SERIES\u003c\/em\u003e ARE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinger Zips\u003c\/strong\u003e – small pieces that develop keyboard skills on a micro level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRhythm Taps\u003c\/strong\u003e – develop two-handed coordination, rhythm reading and playing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinger Taps\u003c\/strong\u003e – establish finger numbers, develop dexterity and reinforce fingering patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepertoire Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e – solo performance pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnsembles\u003c\/strong\u003e – develop part-playing skills, group interaction and team playing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeyboard Harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e – chord playing skills, transposing and improvising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolfa\/Solfege Singing\u003c\/strong\u003e – builds an aural library of melodic patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBy-Ear Playing\u003c\/strong\u003e – connecting keyboard playing with aural perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlash Cards\u003c\/strong\u003e – enhance reading skills and reinforce theory concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e – provide authentic aural models that feature outstanding arrangements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\nEncore on Keys - Primary Piano Level 1 Teacher Guide\n\nComposer: Mark Gibson|Morna Robinson\nPublisher: Accent Publishing\nInstrument: Piano\nPages: 86\nSeries: Encore on Keys Primary Piano","brand":"Accent Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52762289635613,"sku":"PSTG001","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/PSTG001.jpg?v=1786676838","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/encore-on-keys-primary-piano-lev-1-teacher-guide-accent-publishing","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
