piano train trips anotetoteachers piano train trips is a collection of 18 piano etudes plus a series of supplementary exercises. the etudes (stations) are designed to practise just one specific musical aspect in each piece with a style appealing to students. being focused on a determined feature will enable students to assimilate easily the proposed aspect by means of listening, memory, reading and practice. for instance, in the etudes based on intervals they will learn to identify them clearly in the score, to perceive them aurally and they will relate them with one position of the hand to play them. there are etudes focused on scales, intervals, positions of five fingers, chords in different positions, etc. in the exercises, the students will work the different technical aspects practised in the etudes with the teacher’s accompaniment, so that their assimilation will be reinforced. many of the pieces and exercises have been conceived to be able to be played in different keys; if the student has grasped the idea properly transporting it to another key should not be difficult at all. this book is perfect complement to any other method or repertory. i am in favour of practising many different pieces along the school year. the students should study a new piece every week. using this book alternatively with another method or different repertory pieces will enable the students to include a great variety of pieces of different styles, thus improving their reading and technical skills, as well as their memory and ability of analysis. these pieces have been used both in individual as in group lessons (they work really well in groups) .the etudes in this book are enjoyed both by children and by adults that begin their piano lessons, so there is not a specific range of age to use piano train trips. they are more or less devised for students of an elementary advanced level or early intermediate level. i hope you enjoy this book and find it useful. i would love to have feedback from teachers or students so feel free to e-mail me at pianotraintrips@megustaelpiano.com
