This Guide begins with a chart overview detailing the concepts covered in each of the four levels of the Celebrate Piano! series. Each level is sub-divided into categories such as Musicianship/Reading, Rhythm, Technique, Ear Skills and Creativity. The philosophy behind the series is to teach students comprehensive musicianship from the earliest levels. This is accomplished through study units which regularly incorporate performing, describing, writing and creating activities.
The Teacher's Guide offers tips on planning lessons, practice tips for students, along with additional information and tips for teachers. A combination of charts for quick reference and detailed text make this a versatile book. The information for each unit is presented in a consistent format throughout the book making it easy to use.
This Guide would be a valuable resource for piano pedagogy students, new teachers or those wishing to maximize their use of the Celebrate Piano! series. It is a bargain price at $13.99 Canadian!
