This book is written for students who are in grade 1 to grade 3.
The exercises in this book start from easy ones like single-hand exercises and exercises in 5-finger positions to normal and more difficult both-hands exercises. The aim of this book is to train students’ ability to read the score of a particular key signature precisely. As learning a new key signature needs time, the exercises in this book give students more than enough chances to familiarize themselves with a particular key signature.
The exercises in this book are mostly short so that students can play them with ease and have stronger feeling of success. When they can read the score more fluently, they will be more confident and interested to play more.
Enjoy the process and your abilities will be strengthened!

Piano Concerto for piano and orchestra in c# minor, composed by Romantic composer Amy Beach. Opus 45, first movement, Allegro Moderato. 19th century. American Romantic. Historic Women Composers. Classical Piano Repertoire for the intermediate beginner. Arranged by Cameron Smith.

This is an early intermediate level arrangement in the key of C Major and serves as an introduction to historic women composers of the Romantic period. 4/4 time signature. 20 measures. Right hand plays the melody and left hand accompanies in broken arpeggios. Eighth-notes, dotted quarter-notes, quarter-notes, half-notes, dotted half-notes and whole notes.

Amy Beach was the best-known woman composer of her time and the first in the United States. She was the first American woman to write a symphony and was a well-respected pianist in her time. Beach fought hard throughout her life to change the common perception that women's music would always be lesser than men's.

This is a piano solo score for intermediate level players.  It's in a Blues /  Boogie-woogie style of 12 bars.  It might also be played by advanced beginners who are comfortable playing a piece in E major (four sharps in the key signature).

It's fun to play and sounds best if played in a fast or moderately fast tempo.

Composed by Samuel Wellman. Contemporary,Ragtime. Score. 12 pages. Samuel Wellman #1942605. Published by Samuel Wellman (A0.882093).

The contemporary nature of these pieces comes partly from the individual titles. How many times have we heard on the phone, 'This conversation will be recorded for quality control'? So the first rag is 'This Piece May Be Recorded for Quality Control.' Why? Because the main sections are in seven sharps. Best of luck to you. The second rag refers to the modern computer age: 'Press Any Key to Continue,' and the beginning is indeed a seemingly random series of notes, which are then gathered together for a chord. This chord then forms basic material for the rest of the piece. The final rag borrows from merchants who may, for instance, have circulated an ad with a misprint. Correcting the misprint, the merchant then invariably offers this: 'We Apologize for Any Inconvenience.' So how inconvenient is the rag I have written? Haha: play through it and you will discover quite a few inconveniences. But I apologize for them in advance.

Composed by Ric Price. 20th Century,Classical,Instructional. Score. 5 pages. Richard J Price #857533. Published by Richard J Price (A0.1264703).

Music Notes
This is a piece I wrote to shape some concepts for my first/second year piano
student daughter. I had the idea while listening to her practice by brute force –
meaning the keys are repeated hit continuously at same tempo, same strength –
almost as a pounding exercise. 

I thought nuance was not getting into her playing yet (as with most beginning
students).   I wanted her to be aware of the musicality innate in a piece of music.
Therefore, I loaded this piece up with all kinds of tempo changes, dynamics, etc.
A little overkill, but printed music does suggest these things although it might
not be written in.

Concepts I was going for:

• Form: In this case a Rondo. Using classic ABACA.
• Key Relationships: C Major / A Minor. Sections B and C are in A minor, although written in key of C with the addition of sharps (leading tone G ♯).
• Hand Independence: Scales in one hand punctuated in the other.
• Scales: Scales found in both hands and the value of scales fingering in a real piece.
• Phrasing: How different notes are placed together to make a complete thought.
• Dynamics: Lots of changes written in there and how it relates to phrasing helping make the ‘complete thought.’
• Articulation: Staccato vs Legato, voices opposing each other; again helping with the ‘complete thought.’
• Tempo: That such a thing as flexible tempo helps with phrasing and completing that ‘complete thought’ we talked about.
• Pounding beat vs a larger beat: as interpretation such as dance (emphasizing the first beat instead of pounding by each beat. Notice by the tempo markings that a larger beat is called for by the markings (one beat per measure embracing the dance aspect.)
  
  

Her former teacher is very talented, holds his Doctor's degree in Piano Performance and was absolutely terrific with her. That being said, Kara soon found out there were boys, and from that moment on the instructor never had a chance. She’s 38 now, loves to play this piece and still -- pounds it out. ☺.

I make piano solo arrangements for my students of songs that they love! My goal is to create something that sounds beautiful as a standalone piece of music and, most importantly, that it also makes pianistic sense. Each of my arrangements is made for a specific student, so the results will vary in terms of playing level. Most decisions are based on their current skills and abilities, or where I would like for them to be when they complete the piece.

This arrangement was made for a late beginner student currently working on Federation class Elementary 2. Some very tricky fingering in the right hand, but worth the trouble. I chose not to transpose to another key with less sharps because its actually easier with the black keys, in my opinion. Sometimes it's good to throw them a good challenge, and it paid off for me. This was actually a more successful performance than his Federation piece at our recital!

Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 5 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2034415. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862547).

The whole step and the major third are quite euphonious, and even fit into some keys where their usage in a tonal setting facilitates mirror fingerings and symmetry. E major, having four sharps, is just such a key. The scalar passages are strictly mirror-fingered. The octave displacement of the note in between the root and 3rd of the scale is also used throughout, in either hand. Tempo here is only a suggestion, as it may be a bit quick, the 9ths that change direction throughout being the chief technical challenge. The melody is, by default, the top notes of these octave-displaced figures. There are also thirds with broken octaves for accompaniment as well. Running time is approx.3 mins, 30 secs.,longer at a slightly slower pace. Pedaling is not specifically marked, but is given with general instructions rather than with traditional markings. MBB.

The Daily Reading Series is a six-volume reading comprehension supplement for piano students. 
The books:
- strengthen students’ music reading skills in order to promote independent learning;
- reinforce concepts that they have learned previously (through method books and theory books, for example) and ensure that those concepts become ingrained through continual use;
- are designed to be used concurrently and in cooperation with the study of repertoire, technique, ear training, and theory;
- begin by focusing on developing the fundamental skill of recognizing and executing written
pitches and rhythms; once the fundamentals are in place, the focus gradually evolves into the 
more complex challenge of transforming a visual representation into a musical 
experience.

Suggested Pre-Requisite Knowledge for Level 5:
Key signatures: up to 4 sharps/flats
Time signatures: any
Pitches: any
