Reviews: Piano Safari for the Older Student – Sight-reading and Theory

Charlotte Way reviews Piano Safari for the Older Student – Sight-reading and Theory

.

This volume comes as a companion to Piano Safari for the Older Student: Repertoire & Technique, which I reviewed in November 2024’s issue of Music Teacher, and is aimed at beginner pianists from age 10 upwards, including teens and adults. It is Level 1 of a two-part series that follows three levels of books designed for under 10-year-olds. Piano Safari is a well thought-out and thorough method from US piano pedagogues Katherine Fisher and Julie Knerr, with extensive back-up material and resources provided on the website: pianosafari.com. Although elements of theory and reading are included in the Repertoire & Technique book, this volume offers a substantial quantity of supplemental material.
