(Pace Piano Education). Creative Music contains materials both for sight-reading and transposition, and for improvisation. It is the perfect complement to the Music for Piano books also by Robert Pace, or it can also be used as a stand-alone. Available in four levels.
Children are so ready to grasp concepts presented this clearly and sequentially! It's a thrill to see 8 year-olds improvising in all keys mastering the I & V7 harmonies and even all the diatonic triads by the end of Book I. One must use all 4 texts at once, Music For Piano, Theory Papers, and Finger Builders along with Creative Music.This is a fine tradition Dr. Robert Pace brought to piano teaching over 50 years ago based upon the way the old masters learned. It's a brilliant alternative to the mindless middle C approach we'd been using for decades.By book III a student can open a Clementi Sonatina, memorize the first 8 bars without touching the keys, close the book and play it. transpose it and make variations on it right away. Playing by ear and composing are skills coming along naturally.
