Pauline Hall & Kevin Wooding : Spooky Piano Time

Terrifying Pieces, Poems, and Puzzles for Young Pianists

Introduction :

Get set for the most enjoyable fright of your life! Spooky Piano Time is a thrilling addition to the beloved Piano Time series, bursting with creepy repertoire, puzzles, and poems. Designed for pianists at approximately Piano Time 2 standard (pre-Grade 1), this book uses a supernatural theme to capture the imagination of young learners. Lavishly illustrated by Chris Mould, the "House on the Hill" and its crazy characters make the Addams Family look tame indeed!

Product Features :

Underneath its ghostly exterior, this 24-page book serves as a robust educational tool. It introduces pupils to essential technical concepts including meter, rhythm, dynamics, staccato, and legato through original and well-focused compositions. As noted by Piano Journal, the witty poems and cheery advice help bring the music to life, while the final "Escape from the House on the Hill" game provides a fun goal for students to reach.

Performance Tips :

1. Atmospheric Playing: In The House on the Hill, focus on creating a mysterious atmosphere through careful use of dynamics and "creepy" phrasing.
2. Rhythmic Character: For Phantango and Vampire Blues, pay close attention to the specific rhythmic pulse—swing feels and tango accents are great for developing a sense of style.
3. Technical Articulation: Use Frightening Phrases to practice the contrast between crisp staccato and smooth legato, ensuring the "scary" elements are clearly articulated.
4. Creative Composition: Don't skip the Compose a Creepy Piece section; it’s a perfect opportunity for students to apply the intervals and rhythms they've learned to their own "monsterpiece."

Composer Information :

Pauline Hall (Royal Academy of Music) created the Piano Time series to make learning progress at the pace of the student. Kevin Wooding, a composer since age 7 and an experienced jazz and classical teacher, brings his witty style and technical focus to this collaboration.

寶琳·霍爾 & 凱文·伍丁：怪談鋼琴時光 (Spooky Piano Time)

專為年輕鋼琴家設計的恐怖曲目、詩歌與益智遊戲

內容簡介 :

準備好迎接一場既驚悚又有趣的音樂冒險吧！《怪談鋼琴時光》 是備受喜愛的《Piano Time》系列中非常精彩的主題擴充教材。這本書充滿了令人毛骨悚然的曲目、謎題與詩歌，專為程度約在 《Piano Time 2》（第 1 級前）左右的學生設計。書中配有 Chris Mould 精美的全彩插圖，介紹了「山丘上的房子」及其古怪的家族成員，讓鋼琴練習變得像讀恐怖故事一樣吸引人！

產品特點 :

在鬼魅的外表下，這本 24 頁的教材隱藏著紮實的技術練習，涵蓋了 拍號、節奏、強弱變化、斷奏與連奏 等核心概念。如《Piano Journal》所述，凱文·伍丁幽默的詩歌幫助音樂躍然紙上，而書中的樂理謎題、創作任務以及最終的「逃離山丘房」遊戲，能有效激發年幼學生的想像力並維持學習興趣。

演奏提示 :

1. 氣氛營造： 在彈奏《山丘上的房子》時，練習透過細膩的強弱對比與「詭異」的樂句處理來營造神祕感。
2. 風格節奏： 在《幻影探戈》(Phantango) 與《吸血鬼藍調》中，注意特定風格的律動感，這對於培養音樂風格感非常有幫助。
3. 技術表現： 利用《恐怖樂句》單元練習清脆的斷奏與平滑連奏之間的轉換，確保「驚嚇」的音樂元素表現得乾淨俐落。
4. 創意啟發： 不要略過「創作一首恐怖樂曲」的部分，這是一個讓學生運用所學音程與節奏來創作出屬於自己的「恐怖傑作」的好機會。
