Curriculum
Parents will be responsible for the purchase of curriculum for their students' lessons. I use the Faber Piano Adventures series for younger beginners (ages 11 and up) and the Faber Accelerated Piano Adventures series for older beginners (ages 12 and up). I also use the Theory Gymnastics program, which will prepare students for the annual festival put on by the Carbon and Emery County Piano Teacher's Association.
The following is a list of books that will be needed for a beginning student. Amazon.com links are provided for the first level of each book that is available on Amazon, and all of the books are also available in-store at Lee's Music in Price. For students who have taken lessons in the past, I will assess their level of ability and assign books accordingly. Parents may be need to purchase other materials on occasion, especially for more advanced students or in preparation for recitals or festival. The following books will be needed for each beginning student:
