CURRICULUM
Student-Centered Teaching
There is a wonderful interplay between the musical and extra-musical benefits of piano
instruction. Pianistic growth embraces both practiced skills and the cultivation of an artistic
mindset. A rigid, disciplined approach may produce some of the former, but is unlikely to yield
insightful analysis, creative daring, and expressive sensitivity. Such attributes of artistry shine at
high levels of musical proficiency, yet have extraordinary value in all walks of life. With Piano
Adventures we cultivate this artistic mindsetnot as a later add-on, but at the core of the earliest
levels. This requires our best instruction. It invites us to be student-centered. We dont merely
teach the repertoire; we develop each student. Our teaching with Piano Adventures fosters
analysis, creativity, expression, and nurtures disciplined habits of thought.
A-C-ETM: Analysis, Creativity, Expression

These attributes of artistry can be summarized with the acronym A-C-ETM Analysis, Creativity
and Expression. Each of these components is a developed aptitude with a unique role in the
artistic mindset. Together they comprise a powerhouse of ability and impact. A musician
who understands the analytic structures of music, who creates with these tools and can
express with musical sensitivity and confidence is practicing artistry. In Piano Adventures
we feature analysis with the Discovery question paired with each piece; creativity with the
Creative activity for each unit; and expression with the Artistry Magic hints and Technique
Secrets of the Technique & Artistry Books.
Engagement and Pattern Recognition

Get the students attention and find the patterns. These are the two essential processes of piano
teaching. Learning occurs when we have the students attentionwhen the student wants to
be here. The repertoire of Piano Adventures and the vast options from PreTime to BigTime
provide you with tools to engage each student. Find what is meaningful in the students world.
Then, when we have the students focus, we dig into patterns. Analyze patterns, create with
patterns, and express with patterns. This is the essence of the Piano Adventures curriculum:
applying A-C-ETM to visual, aural, and kinesthetic patterns for true artistry.

Students at Level 5 and above often work on Sonatina in C Major,
increasingly difficult repertoirepieces that Haslinger
Sonatina in G Major, Diabelli
can take weeks or months to learn and polish. Sonatina, Jacoby
It is important to pair that repertoire with Song of the Range Rider,
shorter pieces that can be learned in a week McKay
or two. Spinning Song,
Ellmenreich
For that reason, consider assigning a sequence Tambourin, Gossec
of books from the BigTime Piano Library Two German Dances,
Beethoven
to your advancing students. They can learn Wild Rider, Schumann
pieces quickly, often completing an entire
book in just a couple of months. While
developing facile reading skill, the contrasting
styles and sounds allow work on the essential
elements of tone and expression. And, it is
fun for the teacher and the student!

and performer to become leading supporters of piano teachers and students.
The husband and wife team has authored over 200 publications, including the
bestselling Piano Adventures method and the PreTime to BigTime Piano

Nancy Faber was named Distinguished Composer of the Year by the Music
Teachers National Association, winning the top award for her composition

repertoire for the National Flute Association Chamber Music Competition,
was a commissioned composer for MTNAs Year of Collaborative Music, and
has delighted children with her composition The Snow Queen through a grant
by the Lila Wallace Readers Digest Foundation. Ms. Faber studied piano at
the Eastman School and did her graduate work in composition with Joan Tower,

Randall Faber has performed and lectured throughout North America and Asia.

broadcast television and on public radio in a live recital broadcast. Dr. Fabers
research on motivation and talent development has been featured in journals
and media in South Korea, Australia, and at the 9th International Conference
on Motivation in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Fabers advocate piano study not only for personal expression and
performance success, but also as a vehicle for the students creative, cognitive,
and personal development. Their philosophy is reflected in their writing, their
public appearances, and in their own teaching.
