Piano Safari Animal Adventures Reminder Videos

A Rote Piece is provided for each Animal Technique to allow the student to experience each technical motion in the context of a piece. These Rote Pieces are based on easily memorable keyboard patterns to emphasize that music is created in patterns and is not a random assortment of notes. Technique is best learned apart from reading notation. This allows the Student to focus completely on making the correct physical gesture. For this reason, Rote Pieces are ideally suited for reinforcing technical motions.
