約翰‧湯姆遜 : 教導幼兒彈琴 現代鋼琴課程 (中文解說)

鋼琴 – 兒童初級

簡介:

這本《教導幼兒彈琴》是廣受歡迎的約翰‧湯姆遜現代鋼琴課程系列中，專為幼兒設計的啟蒙教材。全書由三十首曲子構成，每首曲子都附有標題、歌詞與插圖。課程由最初三個音符構成的單手旋律開始，循序漸進地發展到節奏和聲音逐漸複雜，最終在第30首曲子時，發展到能用雙手彈奏。本書在培養幼兒讀譜能力上費盡心機，同時也考量到幼兒手部成長和運動神經的發展，以合理的順序展開，旨在透過鋼琴彈奏，讓孩子綜合地學會音樂的本質、思考性與技術面。

本書特色:

• 由合奏出發: 本教材鼓勵合奏（聯彈或雙鋼琴）學習，能消除幼兒初學時的孤獨感與不安，並在豐富的音色和音響中，引發孩子對音樂的濃烈興趣，同時培養樂句感、呼吸配合與聆聽的習慣。
• 附有標題、歌詞和插圖: 每首曲子都附有標題、歌詞和簡潔的插畫，幫助孩子在彈奏前先對樂曲建立清晰的形象，進而激發其表現欲和感受性。
• 每首曲子都可以歌唱: 樂曲皆可歌唱，這能讓孩子們自然地體驗樂句、呼吸和音樂的組織方式，並將內在的情感想像轉化為鋼琴彈奏。
• 從大譜表開始學習: 從第一曲開始就使用大譜表，音域從中央Do向兩邊擴大，使孩子能輕鬆掌握樂譜與鍵盤位置的關係。

父母與指導者須知:

湯姆遜在每一本教材的「序言」中，都簡潔地說明了每個階段應培養孩子的能力，並對每首樂曲詳細說明需注意的事項。因此，指導者在使用本書時，必須事先了解每首曲子的教學目標，並在授課時傳達給學生。如果能搭配「教導幼童聯彈」等補助教材，與孩子一起彈奏，將能更好地消除孤獨感，並有效促進準確節奏的遵守與思考力。

John Thompson : Teaching Little Fingers To Play (Modern Course For The Piano)

Piano – Elementary

Description:

This book, Teaching Little Fingers To Play, is the initial volume in the well-known John Thompson's Modern Course For The Piano series. Composed of 30 pieces, each lesson includes a title, lyrics, and an illustration. It begins with simple single-handed melodies composed of just three notes, then gradually introduces more complex rhythms and sounds. By the 30th piece, students are prepared to play with both hands. The book is carefully designed to foster a child's sight-reading skills, taking into account the development of young hands and motor skills. Through these pieces, children can comprehensively learn the essence of music, including its intellectual and technical aspects.

Product Features:

• Focus on Ensemble Playing: The book encourages ensemble playing (duets or two pianos) to reduce the feeling of isolation for young beginners. This approach stimulates interest and helps develop a sense of rhythm, phrasing, and listening skills.
• Title, Lyrics, and Illustrations: Each piece comes with a title, lyrics, and an illustration to help children form a clear image of the music before they play, which in turn fosters their expression and creativity.
• Singing-Based Learning: Since each piece can be sung, children naturally learn phrasing, breathing, and musical structure, which enhances their playing.
• Early Introduction to the Grand Staff: The course starts with the Grand Staff from the very first piece, gradually expanding the range from middle C to help children easily grasp the relationship between the music score and the piano keyboard.

Notes for Parents and Teachers:

In the preface of each book, Thompson provides clear instructions on what skills to focus on at each stage. It is crucial for teachers and parents to understand the goal of each piece and guide the student accordingly. Without this mindful approach, this book is no different from any other beginner's method. For parents with some piano background, using the supplemental duet book can be an enjoyable way to play together, helping the child with accurate rhythm and thoughtful musicality. The author emphasizes that a child's feelings of loneliness can be a barrier to progress, and playing together is a great way to overcome this and make learning a happy experience.

Contents:

The book contains 30 pieces designed to progressively build skills. The titles listed below represent a selection of the concepts and pieces covered in the book:

• Lesson One on Keyboard and Notation
• "Birthday Party" - Relating Keyboard to Notes C, D, E
• "Postman" - Three notes around middle C
