Piano Adventures by Faber
Piano Adventures bases its curriculum on the discovery, creativity, and adventure. This comprehensive method is defined by its outstanding reading approach, a variety of musical styles, the “why” of music theory and, importantly, the “how” of piano technique with a unique, systematic pathway.
The Primer Level is designed for beginning piano students ages 6 – 11. We recommend students follow both the lesson book and the theory book. In the lesson book, musical concepts are introduced and reinforced with pianistic songs and engaging lyrics, while the theory book teaches thinking skills through writing, improvisation, ear training, and eye training.

The Piano Adventures Player App brings an orchestra, jazz ensemble, and rock band to your mobile device! This official play-along app provides outstanding accompaniments to the Piano Adventures lesson books, which stimulate practice and imagination, provide model performances, and help develop ensemble skills!

For 130 years, The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) has offered an internationally renowned program of music study and assessment through its certificate program.

The program provides students with world-class, well-rounded musical training, from elementary through to advanced levels. With the completion of each level, students further hone their skills and develop their ability to play music independently while nurturing a lifelong appreciation for music-making.
Our instructors at Academy of Music will prepare our students to take the RCM examinations if they so choose. While the examinations are optional, we encourage our students to take them. Completing the higher-level examinations gives the students the opportunity to gain high school credits as well as university entrance requirements for further music study.
