Improve your piano grade 2! by Richard Crozier
This revolutionary new series presents Paul Harris’s Simultaneous Learning approach to teaching music. Co-written with Richard Crozier, this book gives guidance on how to tackle the nine pieces in the ABRSM publication Piano Exam Pieces Grade 2 2015 & 2016 with the most holistic approach. Every piece is looked at in detail, the crucial ‘ingredients’ are listed and a series of activities and ideas outlined for different stages: Pre-notation work, Introducing the notation and Playing and refining the piece. There is also a photocopiable pupil’s worksheet for each piece. Because all aspects of musical training are connected through the Simultaneous Learning approach, the activities also improve every aspect of exam preparation. Aural, sight-reading, theory and scale and arpeggio practice will be transformed and pupils’ overall understanding of music greatly enhanced.Paul Harris has teamed up with Richard Crozier to write learning guides for the ABRSM piano syllabus for Grades 1-3, 2015/16….There is a comprehensive introduction explaining how to use the book and the principles of simultaneous learning. Harris and Crozier then do the work for us, connecting the components of the pieces. Each piece has pre-notation activities (I especially like these), activities to introduce the notation (rhythm, aural, patterns, pulse, dynamics and matters relating to the title and character of the piece), a section on playing and refining the piece, and a photocopiable student's worksheet. Each book breaks down elements of the pieces with clarity, and includes many great ideas for teaching, learning and securing these grade exam pieces. There is everything a good teacher would like to include as they teach Grades 1-3.
