(S3) Celebrate Piano! Lesson and Musicianship, Level Three, and Teacher's Guide
by Cathy Albergo, J. Mitzi Kolar, and Mark Mrozinski.
The six-unit lesson and musicianship book includes repertoire, technique, reading, theory, rhythm, aural skills, and creative activities in each unit. Technique and theory topics introduced are pedaling, minor five-finger patterns and triads, minor key signatures, and harmonizing using tonic, dominant, and subdominant chords. The pieces are appealing and cover a variety of musical styles, such as folk, jazz, popular, and classical literature. A teacher's handbook has an easy-to-follow chart for preparation, presentation, and follow-up of new concepts in each unit to help organize lesson plans. Another chart groups activities together that share common or related concepts; teachers can tailor the lessons of each student by sequencing these activities within each unit.
