A piano textbook commonly used in American piano lessons. The illustrations, often unfamiliar to Japanese people, frequently captivate children's hearts, allowing them to grasp the image of a piece while coloring.
There are no "thumb-under" exercises; most pieces can be played with five fingers, though some include leaps.
Most pieces have fingerings, and clear photos of the keyboard and sheet music are provided.
This is a series that follows 'Piano Method for Little Hands,' but it offers a wider range of learning topics such as tonality, expression marks, 6/8 time signature, dance forms, and syncopation, resulting in significantly more challenging and rewarding pieces compared to the previous work.
Teaching Points:
- What is to be learned in each piece is clearly indicated. This makes it easy for instructors to convey learning points, making it a convenient textbook for lessons.
- It also includes tests to review comprehension, facilitating a solid grasp of fundamentals.
- Some piece titles contain difficult words, so discussing their meanings with students can help them understand phrases and the structure of the pieces.
- A textbook brimming with the joy of expression through the piano.
