This easy step-by-step method emphasizes correct playing habits and note
reading through interval recognition. Lesson Book Level 1A begins by
teaching basic keyboard topography and fluent recognition of white key
names in relation to black keys. It focuses on simple rhythms and
prepares students for intervallic reading with entertaining songs that
focus on "same," "stepping up" and "stepping down." It then introduces
lines and space notes in treble and bass clefs, melodic and harmonic
intervals of 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5ths, and graduates to reading on the
grand staff. It also introduces the flat and sharp signs. This course is
most effective when used under the direction of a piano teacher or
experienced musician. Songs Include: Balloons * Batter Up! * The Donkey *
