Level 3 is a transitional book into harder levels of music and covers more advanced aspects of pitch, rhythm, key families, patterns, and improvisation.

Doing is the best teacher and relating musical concepts to the songs students are playing brings an understanding of music that will take them far beyond just reading & playing.  Equipping students with musical tools will enable them to freely explore, discover, & create music for themselves.

Level 3 of our Piano Curriculum uses songs to bring life to musical concepts one simple step at a time.  Each level has multiple components, which include Songs, Reading Music, Accompaniment Tools, Comp & Improv, and assignment pages.  This eliminates the typical need for multiple books.  Each level is progressively harder moving you forward in gaining musical skills.  Level 3 is a transitional book to prepare for harder levels of music and is a valuable resource book for the student.  On the average, a level will last a year or more when supplemental Christmas songs, etc., are added.  A suggestion is to add a theory workbook, which includes ear training & rhythm exercises, such as “Just the Facts” or “Primo Theory” to give you extra practice to reinforce what you are learning.  Your ability to problem solve through understanding musical concepts equals productive practice & advancement.  Empower yourself to hear, play, read, write, & perform in musical language!
