Vacation Magic offers an exciting adventure in music. Designed for students to use on their own or with a teacher, Vacation Magic is a great supplement for vacation study, no matter what method your students use. Each volume includes original solos by the Bastiens, ear training and music appreciation activities, theory, and sight reading all woven into an engaging story line. The enclosed CDs are absolutely fabulous! Each CD gives clear instruction and practice help, tells a story, presents snippets of piano and orchestral classics, and offers accompaniments to the solos. It's a fun, interactive approach that keeps students motivated and encourages them to become more independent learners. The Primer Level begins at the elementary level with one-note melodies between the hands in middle C position. Level One begins at the late-elementary level with tunes in C, G, and F Major. Level Two starts at the early intermediate level with eighth note rhythms, syncopation and plenty of harmonic intervals and chords. Level Three takes the student from the early intermediate to the intermediate level with two-page pieces that cover a wide range of the keyboard, containing a variety of articulations, rhythms, and pedalling challenges. Level Four is solidly at the intermediate level and offers pieces in many keys and styles. Perfect for "piano camp," private lessons, and holiday times, Vacation Magic is just the way to keep piano students excited, challenged, and learning! Please note: 5-Packs consist of five Vacation Magic books of the same level and do not include CDs.
