Town is the perfect place to learn to play the piano! A Multi-Key

Town combines the best of pedagogy to date with innovative new ideas.

Students will love the contemporary feel as they discover the musical

wonders of Piano Town. Teachers will love the success of its interactive

discovery learning approach! 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 2 (MP102) begins with

opening the hand out of the 5-finger position to play intervals of 6th

and 7th. Other new concepts include half and whole step, 6/8 time

signature, changing Major into minor, and Sonatina form. Students will

learn to play scales, primary chords, chord progressions, and music in

the keys of C, G, F, D, A and E Major. Performance Level 2 (MP132)

offers students an opportunity to apply what they have learned in

Lessons. The variety of folk songs, familiar tunes, original music, and

classical literature is ideal for use in recitals and festivals. Technic Level 2 (MP122)

provides page by page support of the technical skills introduced in

Lessons. Each new exercise isolates one element of piano technic, giving

the student a chance to focus on each specific skill. Theory Level 2 (MP112)

provides page by page support for each concept introduced in Lessons so

that theoretical knowledge keeps pace with performance skill. The study

of music theory is an integral part of a complete musical education.

Using Theory simultaneously with Lessons will help students learn and

memorize music more easily and accurately.
