Description:
Piano Adventures - Popular Book offers outstanding popular repertoire and has been skillfully arranged and carefully correlated with the concepts in the Piano Adventures Lesson Books. A notable feature is the fun-filled activity page that follows each popular selection. These pages imaginatively engage the student in note naming, rhythmic study, sightreading, and understanding of musical terms.

The accompaniment CDs in Levels Primer - through 5, offer teachers and students: practice and performance tempos for each piece; live musicians on acoustic instruments blended with the digital recording; and an expressive count-in measure to convey the character of each piece. Each CD features orchestrations created especially for Piano Adventures® and are distinctive and unique. The accompaniments feature the instrumentation of the marching band, Baroque chamber group, jazz ensemble, chamber orchestra, rock group, etc. Students not only benefit from exposure to the sounds of these ensembles, but have the opportunity to play along. For many students, the orchestrations will be an introduction to these ensemble sounds. And, hopefully, the orchestrations will inspire many toward ensemble playing in the future.
