Great news! I have added the Level 3 Teacher Guide to the website. This is a free PDF download. Please note that it also contains information about Theory Book 3. This book is not available yet, but will be released sometime in the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy the Teacher Guide, and our apologies about the delay of its completion. Thank you for your patience! pianosafari.com/teacher-resources/teacher-resources-level-3/

Here is the replay of Dr. Sally Cathcart's Ready to Play Webinar, which we hosted yesterday!
Loved this! Thank you for doing it!
We are excited to host our very first webinar this coming Tuesday at 1:00 ET! Our guest speaker will be Sally Cathcart of the Curious Piano Teachers. Sally is the author of the Ready to Play books, which Piano Safari recently began distributing in the US.
During the free webinar Sally will give an overview of the material and explain the philosophy and methodology behind the series.
She will be answering frequently asked questions such as:
How long should I spend on each song?
How can I include a song and activities into a piano lesson?
Why are the songs so simple in off we go (book 1)?
How do I use the series in conjunction with a piano method (e.g Piano Safari)?
Why is reading from staff notation only introduced in Book 2?

Just had an exciting moment in online teaching a student today! Some students love to create their own music, while others are more reticent. This student has always been in the reticent category. We were working on Miniature No. 2 from the Miniatures book by Juan Cabeza. He easily sight read it, and I asked him to change it in some way and provided an example. He instantly came up with several different ways to play it, by varying the hands, playing in parallel motion, switching the accompaniment from left hand to right hand, etc. Then we transposed it to several keys! This idea is worked into the Miniatures book, and I saw how well it can work in action today!! This book is suitable for students in Level 3 of Piano Safari or who have graduated from Level 3. pianosafari.com/product/miniatures/
I Bought this and my son loves it. He said the only part he found odd was 3 quarter notes in 6/8 times for the c minor miniature. Isn’t the grouping supposed to be quarter tied to an eighth twice? He found it odd to look at the grouping ? But loves the book
I love Juan Cabeza’s music! It is so very interesting and varied:) I can’t wait to take a look at his Miniatures...
