Piano Adventures: Lesson Book - Level 3A, 2nd Edition | Intermediate Piano Method for Kids and Teens | Educational Sheet Music Songbook with Chromatic Scale and Arpeggios | Faber Piano Book

These Faber books are a wonderful series of piano learning books. The tunes and rhythms are delightful. Lots of variety . I especially enjoy the duets where my granddaughter can play the nice melody and I can supply the more complexity.

Love the whole series. It introduces students not only to various genres of music, but integrates age-appropriate music theory as well. Recommend wholeheartedly!

I like that this book has all 3 scales (C, G, and F and the cadences), and then moves on to explain 7ths, 3 and 6/8 time, and then moves into the key of D. It works well with the theory book, and if the student can get the companion technic and performance books, even better!

We have several levels of these books. They are great for learning piano. Definitely recommend

As expected

Level 3A first half focuses mainly on rhythm knowledge and time signature of 3/8, 6/8, triplet. The second half introduces chromatic scale, D major scale, and 1 ocatave arpeggios and further explores ledger lines. This is the first level where the songs have a some meat to them and challenging spots for the average kid. I would have like to see a bit more on syncopation. But perhaps it will be further explored in higher levels. There is no CD for this level. But you can go to the piano adventure website for MIDI or REAL player for the songs.

My kids like this book. He use this book everyday.

As Advertised

Ich unterrichte seit Jahrzehnten und habe mit der Reihe "Piano Adventures" endlich eine Klavierschule gefunden, die ansprechende Stücke auf dem jeweiligen Niveau enthält (entweder selbst komponiert oder arrangiert von den Autoren). Es sind ANDERE Stücke als in den üblichen Klavierschulen und -bänden, insofern eignet sich diese Klavierreihe auch hervorragend als Ergänzung zu anderen klassischen Werken (ich selbst benutze sie so). Meine Schüler lieben die meisten Stücke und spielen sie auch gern immer wieder. Die Stücke bauen in der Regel auf Dreiklängen sowie Kadenzen auf und klingen einfach schön für sie - ohne allzu simpel nur zwischen Tonika und Dominante zu wechseln :-). Die Noten sind größer als normal, was die Kinder sehr zu schätzen wissen! Dass die Bücher auf Englisch sind, hat noch kein Kind gestört - ich schreibe bei den Kleineren die deutschen Übersetzungen dazu, falls nötig, die Größeren können sie fast immer allein verstehen.

Todo correcto

Been using Faber ever since I was a kid and now teaching using this method. Some songs are a bit outdated and “boring” as per my students, but still teaches the fundamentals which is why I stick with it, although sometimes I will use other curriculum books to supplement it further as some concepts can be introduced a lot earlier.

As an adult learner, the Faber collection has been pivotal in my learning. Great to see it at fabulous prices on Amazon as well as most collections being available to find

Good
