From Rote to Note, Book 2
By E.L. Lancaster and Omar Roy
From Rote to Note, Book 2: Late Elementary to Early Intermediate Piano Studies that Reinforce Theory and Technique contains twelve piano studies based on a theoretical or technical concept. The studies are designed to be taught from a musical map without the aid of traditional notation.
- Each study includes an abstract that maps the piece to aid with memory and practice at home as well as traditional notation of the piece.
- A teacher section identifies each study’s concept, giving steps for introducing the musical map, and outlines strategies for teaching the study by rote.
- The studies allow students to move intellectually from rote to note, experiencing musical elements before relating them to notation.
- Concepts covered include Thirds, Sixths, Ascending Broken Chords and Inversions, Descending Broken Chords and Inversions, Five-finger Patterns, Scale Fingering, Chromatic Scale, Hand-over-Hand Broken Chords, Arpeggios, and Broken Chords and Hand-over-Hand Crossovers.
