Welcome to the 2015 Faber Piano Adventures Catalog!
There are many exciting new publications to explore for students age 5 to 95 from My First Piano
Adventure for the Young Beginner to Adult Piano Adventures for life-long learners.
Decades of teaching and writing have taught us many things. Perhaps most significant is the importance
of music in our society, in our families, and its unique ability to transform individuals of all ages.
We are thankful for the many teachers and students who throughout the years have made our piano
adventure so vibrant, creative, and purposeful.
Please browse the catalog with a cup of coffee or tea. Check out the online resources. And, by all
means, write or email us. We would love to hear from you.

A Closer Look at FunTime Piano (Levels 3A-3B)
Song Lists on page 39
At Levels 3A-3B, students need time to consolidate their piano skills.

This is a great time to explore diverse, fun repertoire. For this reason,
we label this early-intermediate level as FunTime Piano. Many students
benefit from completing several FunTime Books before graduating up
to Level 4 BigTime Piano. So have a fun time with the sounds of
jazz & blues, rock n roll, popular, classics and more!

USING AUDIO AND MIDI
Benefits of Accompaniments
BACKGROUND ACCOMPANIMENTS
Background accompaniments can be a wonderful teaching tool both

in the studio and at home, conveying a sonic world of rhythm, melody
and harmony that educates and motivates. The
accompaniments can be used throughout the life cycle of
a piece, from first listening to final performance.
Introduction and Exploration

Ask students to listen to the accompaniment
one week before introducing the piece in the
lesson. This orients the ear to the general
character, tempo, and rhythms. At the next
lesson, demonstrate the piece by playing with
the accompaniment at full performance speed.
Next, get the student involved by clapping,
pointing to each note in time with the recording, or
by singing the lyrics, note names, or finger numbers.
Rhythmic Practice
Playing with a background accompaniment demands

the need to keep on going. The rhythmic encouragement
can make home practice more productive.
Musical Growth
The musical vignettes in these recordings introduce the student to a variety of sounds and ensembles.
Exposure to these orchestrated interpretations not only makes the student more musically literate, but inspires
performance with rhythmic vitality, forward motion, and musical expression.
Listening to an example can

be worth a thousand words!

Accompaniments in the palm of
your hand
With the Piano Adventures Player app, teachers
and students will be able to access a library of
accompaniments at their fingertips. In addition, they
can practice using a variety of interactive tools, explore
various genres and styles, discover new music, and
perform along with an intelligent accompaniment that
follows their tempo and dynamics.
