Question:
Is Piano Pronto an All-in-One course?
Answer:
Not exactly, but it’s pretty close! Each book in the Piano Pronto series includes pieces, explanations about musical concepts and terminology, written music theory exercises, and Pronto Prep sections to help instill the importance of section work. If you want to dive deeper into music theory we suggest using the correlating Power Pages books that include written theory, ear training, technique exercises, composition prompts, and much more. Power Pages books are available up through Piano Pronto: Movement 3.
Question:
I have a teen transfer student who the previous teacher said she was in Piano Adventures level 4.
I have her using Movement 3 and Power Pages. She is really struggling through the Movement 3 book but grasps the theory of Power Pages pretty well. She told me in the beginning that she can’t sight read at all and memorizes everything. She appears to work hard but I would really like to see her not struggle so much. I don’t want to discourage her, but I feel she’d be better suited to Movement 1 or 2. I sure would appreciate your guidance.
Thank you.
Answer:
In this situation I would suggest slowing down the pace you're working through the Movement 3 method book and take some time to do lateral supplementation. She admittedly needs to reinforce her reading skills so I would look for some fun songbooks in our "Method Book Match" section that are aligned with the Movement 2 book. This will give her some time to just focus on improving her reading skills. Nothing says you have to keep plugging along in a method book ad infinitum! By using supplemental books to work on the reading you won't have to move her "backwards" into a lower level method book.
Question:
Is there a backing track with piano for the “Blues Medley”? I’m not seeing it in the sample listening tracks.
Answer:
Yes, there is as part of the Movement 3: Super Soundtrack. I don't always include samples of everything that is included in separate paid products.
