Synopsis

From Rote to Note: Elementary Piano Pieces that Reinforce Theory and Technique contains nine pieces based on a theoretical or technical concept that students encounter at beginning levels of study. The pieces are designed to be taught from a musical map without the aid of traditional notation.

• Each piece includes an abstract that maps the piece to aid with memory and practice at home as well as traditional notation of the piece, sometimes with an optional duet accompaniment.
• A teacher section identifies each piece’s concept, giving steps for introducing the musical map, and outlines strategies for teaching the piece by rote.
• Allows students to move intellectually from rote to note, experiencing musical elements before relating them to notation.
• Concepts covered include Moving Up, Down and Repeating Black Keys, Whole Steps, Major Five-Finger Patterns and Triads, Major Scales, Tonic and Dominant Tones, Major and Minor 3rds, Hands-Together Coordination, Intervals from 3rds through octaves, Chords Built on White Keys
