From Rote to Note, Book 2: Late Elementary to Early Intermediate Piano Studies That Reinforce Theory and Technique Designed to Be Taught without Traditional Notation

From Rote to Note, Book 2 contains twelve studies that reinforce keyboard theory and technique. Each study is based on a theoretical or technical concept that students encounter at late elementary to early intermediate levels of study and is designed to be taught from a musical map without the aid of traditional notation. Once students can play from the abstract representation, they can examine the notated score. They move intellectually from rote to note, experiencing musical elements before relating them to notation.This book is geared toward students of varying age groups and can easily be adapted into existing curriculums. It is especially useful for students who play other instruments and are familiar with rhythm notation. Students who are not familiar with rhythm notation can learn the rhythms by ear after hearing teacher demonstrations.Each study includes the following:? An abstract that maps the piece to aid with memory and practice at home? Traditional notation of the piece? A teacher section that identifies the piece's concept, gives steps for introducing the musical map, and outlines strategies for teaching the study by rote
