"eNovativePiano has truly enhanced my teaching in all aspects of my career. I use eNovativePiano in both my private lessons and my group classes. It enables me to build a curriuclum specific to each of my private students' needs, not to mention that they love the acompaniments and the videos. I teach 3rd-5th grade piano at an arts and technology school where I teach in a 16-keyboard lab setting without any assistance. eNovativePiano has brought ease and amazing results to a job that was nearly impossible and equally frustrating. This wonderful resource has helped me reach the goals that I have set for myelf and for my students." -- Courtney Oubre, NCTM, J.W. James Magnet Elementary School, Lafayette Parish, LA.
"an excellent concise format for introducing and re-enforcing pattern reading through practice drills and manageable repertoire pieces. Great inclusion of harmonization and improvisation exercises. The website stresses the keyboard skills needed for most instrumentalists and provides an excellent tutorial videos for students to practice outside the classroom time." -- Dr. Rose Grace, Bethune-Cookman University, FL.
Some of my students think they are "too cool" for traditional method books. eNovativePiano's multimedia approach to teaching is just was they need and want! They really love the pop tune lead sheets and the play along audio tracks. -- Hannah Mayo, NCTM, Lafayette, LA (Independent Music Teacher)
For the past year, I have been using materials from eNovative Piano with group piano as well as private students in my studio. I have found the coordination drills and the two-hand rhythm drills to be particularly effective in helping them develop the skills needed to play their repertoire pieces.The students really like the materials as well! -- Ellene Owens, Pineville, LA
. . . compared to the textbook which I have used for the last umpteen years, I found it refreshing and much more interesting. Thanks again for creating such a wonderful, rich resource for class piano." . -- Norma Brunner, Gordon College, MA.
Very well-organized and great layout! -- Group Piano Teacher
I will have to make sure our lab is equipped first, before adopting eNovativePiano. But this is a great incentive to start lobbying for funding! -- Group Piano Teacher
I think this is the perfect "book" for this course. It provides all the materials you need.
The only thing that would have been more effective is if we each had our own individual piano teacher to carry around in our pockets.
One of the best ways I've learned. It allows me to stay organized and makes it easier to practice. If you lose a piece of music or miss class for some reason, you can go online and look everything up.
I love the drills. They helped me alot. It helps me to focus on the aural, visual, tactile skill that I was using while I'm playing, to further develop it.
