Introducing: Max and Cora - Puppy Pals. A Musical Storybook with 10 Pieces for Elementary.

Enjoy this example from Max & Cora of Chapter 8: Lost in the Fog.

This storybook is meant to combine several skills they are already working on like: reading, public speaking (when reading out loud), imagining outcomes and creative thinking (when discussing the questions), coloring within the lines (black & white illustration included), listening, working on piano skills and more.

Teaching Suggestions:
*Read & Play the whole book with one student: perhaps teach 1 piece each week.

*Perform in Recitals: have a student(s) or teacher read each chapter of the story, then different students play the accompanying piece.

*Group lessons or Piano Parties: Assign 1 Chapter and 1 piece to each student - give them a few minutes to prepare or sight read - then present the story to the class.

Pieces are written to be descriptive: Encourage students to discover how the story is illustrated in the music: Do you hear moments like stretching or running? Identify these and emphasize them when you play.

Pieces are patterned based to make them easier to learn - most can be taught by rote.

Did you notice the black & white photos? These are included to facilitate easier printing. Invite students to color these pages.

Having 2 Puppy Pals gives opportunities for interplay between Left (Max) and Right (Cora) hand melodies. Make sure it’s a conversation.

Skill Development:

Reading and Public Speaking - Ask students to read the story out loud.

Creative thinking - discuss the questions in the story - encourage students to portray their ideas in the music.

Piano Techniques - Left Hand cross overs. Pedaling experience. Dynamics. Articulations: Lyrical vs. Staccato playing. Reading accidentals. Left Hand melodies. Tempo & Mood changes. Finger technique for faster playing, C Major, C minor, D Major, D minor Hand Positions (with accidentals written in). 4/4 and 3/4 Time Signatures.

Together We Can is a Super Hero sounding piece! Students will enjoy working up to this one!

This is a STUDIO LICENSE: One purchase - One person is allowed multiple copies for students in their Studio. And it’s always available in your account to redownload at any time. Thank you for honoring the creativity and work of the composer.
