Piano Town, Lessons, Level 4

Piano Town, Lessons, Level 4

Composed by Diane Hidy, Keith Snell

Lessons is the core of Piano Town. The controlled, steady pacing of the curriculum introduces one element at a time. Each concept is presented in a consistent, reliable format. This clear presentation helps students focus on new skills and information.

Lessons Level Four begins with a review of triads and inversions, followed by the introduction of V7 chords and inversions.  New concepts include 2/2 and 3/8 time signatures, augmented and diminished triads, sixteenth notes, dotted eight notes and syncopation.  Multi-key reading continues with learning scales, chords and music in E-flat, A-flat, D-flat, G-flat and B Major.  The music in this book emphasizes classical literature with works by Telemann, Bach, Le Couppey, Haydn, Beethoven, Gurlitt, Streabbog, Carr, Schmitt and others.
