The FJH Pianist's Curriculum

Sight Reading and Rhythm Every Day, Let's Get Started, Book A

Helen Marlais

Designed to be accessible to young beginners, we’ve used larger fonts and added lyrics that appeal to kids. Each unit has a theme such as At the Park, Up in Space, or Creepy Crawly Things. Every day the student claps/counts two short rhythm lines, and sight reads two short pieces, and checks off a Did It! box. This carefully sequenced book starts with reading 2nds and 3rds from guide notes Middle C, Treble G, and Bass F; then adds the interval of a 4th in Unit 4. This new addition to the series guides students in a simple way to sight read with ease, accuracy and musicality.
