Book 1 is for students of all ages, from first grade through adult beginners. The lesson plans provide sequenced activities, keyboard skills, and study of songs and performance pieces.
Rote teaching, or learning by imitation, is the first step toward audiation. Activities away from the keyboard and at the keyboard guide students on the pathway to complete music literacy. Music literacy includes performance, listening, improvising and composing.
Listening, performing, and keyboard skills are the first steps toward understanding music notation. |

Book 2 continues with more difficult Major and Minor tonality songs. Students continue to build keyboard, audiation, and improvisation skills through sequenced lesson time activities.
Gradually, more rote solos are studied at the lesson. Activities to learn rote solos use a "whole-parts-whole" approach using an audiation-based style of instruction.

Book 3 Lesson Plans guides students in more advanced keyboard, audiation, and improvisation skills. Along with this third book, students will be playing more advanced solos, learned by rote and by applying audiation skills.
It is important to keep the lesson-time activities focussed on building and maintaining audiation and keyboard skills while students learn solo repertoire. Activities to do this are provided in these lesson plans. |
