Music and Skills

Piano Music Overview

• Lesson Book
  Younger students will start with the Faber Method, unless a different approach better suits their needs. More advanced students will use a method that supports steady progress in sight-reading and learning one piece every 1–2 weeks.

• Repertoire Book
  Students will work on classical pieces that take longer to master. These are chosen based on skill level, reading ability, and practice habits.

• Variety Book
  This student-choice book— such as classical, hymns, praise and worship, popular, or patriotic—matches the Lesson Book level and helps build sight-reading skills through fun, engaging pieces.

• Chord & Theory Work
  Exploring chords and theory, especially in the context of praise bands or lead sheets, helps students apply what they learn to real-world music-making and boosts their overall understanding and creativity.
