Music Moves for Piano
is the first piano method of its kind. It applies

Edwin E. Gordons Music Learning Theory to the teaching of piano. When music is
taught as an aural art, lessons build a foundation for lifelong musical enjoyment and
understanding. With guidance, sound to notation leads to fluent music performance,
reading, and writing. Some of the major concepts of this approach for students include:
Rhythm is based on movement: Feel rhythm and chant rhythm patterns. Move in
both a continuous fluid way and a pulsating way.
Sing songs and tonal patterns to develop pitch sensitivity, singing in tune, and a
listening ear. Singing develops tonal audiation.
Acquire a listening and performing music pattern vocabulary.
Understand the various ingredients of music, such as rhythm, meter, tonality,
harmony, style, and form.
Create with different elements of music, such as rhythm, pitch, harmony, and form.
Improvise using familiar patterns and songs. Transpose, change tonality and meter,
and create melodic and rhythmic variations.
Perform with technical freedom and comfort. Learn how to use the playing apparatus
from the beginning of lessons.
Marilyn Lowe, who has taught piano for more than 40 years, has used her experiences
and knowledge to create a non-traditional piano method based on Edwin E. Gordons theories
of audiation. Other influences include the techniques and theories of Carl Orff, Shinichi Suzuki,
Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, Zoltan Kodaly, and Dorothy Taubman. Lowe has been using this
approach successfully with her students for more than 10 years. Her academic credits include
degrees in liberal arts and piano from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and a masters degree
in piano from Indiana University in Bloomington. Lowe completed additional graduate study in
organ and music theory at Indiana University. She would like to express her appreciation to her
former music teachers: Nadia Boulanger, Murray Baylor, Walter Robert, and Menahem Pressler.
Edwin E. Gordon is known throughout the world as a preeminent researcher, teacher,

author, editor, and lecturer in the field of music education. In addition to advising doctoral
candidates in music education, Gordon has devoted many years to teaching music to preschoolaged children. Through extensive research, Gordon has made major contributions to the field
of music education in such areas as the study of music aptitudes, stages and types of audiation,
music learning theory, and rhythm in movement and music.
