The Singing Piano: Lesson Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732308602)

The Singing Piano is based on Music Learning Theory (MLT) and the research of Dr. Edwin Gordon. For teachers and students who use tonal and rhythm solfege (Gordon or Takadimi) the Singing Piano is a great resource. And, for teachers NEW to tonal solfege (Do Re Mi) and rhythm solfege, The Singing Piano is a great place to start. This learning series provides a flexible structure and well thought out Music Learning Sequences that follow a "sound-before-sight" process. Music students will be engaged right from the beginning as they explore major and minor tonalities along with simple meter and compound meter. The Singing Piano is an exciting and engaging adventure through which new music students learn to understand the wonderful sounds of piano playing. Lesson Book 1 was created with the older beginning student in mind - ages 9 and up. By focusing on specific skill sets students can enjoy the process of creating, listening, and moving with music. Students are presented with learning activities that appear in logical sequences that move from what they know to what they will know. Together students and teachers explore sounds, techniques, and rhythms that make practicing and playing exiting. Teachers new to tonal solfege (Do, Re, Mi) and rhythm solfege (Takadimi or Gordon) will find the support, information, and resources needed to enjoy the journey along with students. Welcome to The Singing Piano!
