ABRSM : Piano Star - Book 1

24 pieces for young pianists Up to Prep Test Level

Introduction :

Piano Star is an exciting series for young pianists, offering a rich selection of new repertoire to help players build confidence and musical skills. Book 1 is the perfect starting point for absolute beginners, taking them from their first notes up to the Prep Test level. The pieces are thoughtfully crafted to be fun and engaging, ensuring that children develop a genuine love for playing while mastering the fundamentals of the instrument.

Product Features :

This volume contains 24 imaginative pieces that introduce basic notes, simple rhythms, and early hand coordination. The collection includes a mix of traditional folk songs and new compositions by renowned educational experts such as David Blackwell, Sarah Watts, and Alan Bullard. The varied styles—from the jaunty "Shopping Trolley Rag" to the evocative "Scarlet Lanterns"—provide a colorful musical landscape for any beginner.

Performance Tips :

1. Focus on hand posture and finger relaxation from the very first piece, "Start the Music!"
2. Use the lyrics and titles to help with rhythm; singing along to "Incy Wincy Spider" or "Old McDonald had a drum" makes internalizing the beat much easier.
3. Practice steady counting in "Watch your step" and "Secret mission" to build strong rhythmic foundations.
4. Encourage the student to explore musical moods; for example, contrast the mood of "A sad story" with the energetic "Bike Ride."

ABRSM : 鋼琴之星 (Piano Star) - 第一冊

適合初學者至預備測試程度的 24 首小品

內容簡介 :

《鋼琴之星》(Piano Star) 是一套專為年幼鋼琴家設計的精彩系列教材，透過豐富的新曲目幫助演奏者建立自信。第一冊是絕對初學者的完美起點，引導他們從彈奏第一個音符開始，逐步達到預備測試 (Prep Test) 程度。書中樂曲設計充滿趣味且引人入勝，確保孩子在掌握樂器基礎的同時，能培養出對鋼琴演奏的熱愛。

產品特點 :

本冊收錄了 24 首極具想像力的樂曲，介紹了基礎音符、簡單節奏以及早期的手部協調。曲集包含傳統民謠以及由 David Blackwell、Sarah Watts 與 Alan Bullard 等著名教育大師創作的新作品。多樣的風格——從活潑的「購物車雷格舞」到意境深遠的「紅燈籠」——為初學者提供了豐富多彩的音樂體驗。

演奏提示 :

1. 從第一首曲子《Start the Music!》開始，就應專注於正確的手型與手指的放鬆。

3. 在《Watch your step》與《Secret mission》中練習穩定的數拍，建立堅實的節奏基礎。
