Relies on fewer outdated, unfriendly, negative stereotypes and tropes, and instead strives to honor and acknowledge the contributions of diverse composers and songwriters, while at the same time preserving and celebrating positive American culture and traditions, helping all students find historical significance and feel welcome in the world of piano and keyboard music education and performance.
Presents singable music, including American folk songs, children’s songs and nursery rhymes, patriotic songs, African American spirituals, Native American music, Latin American songs and dances, Christian hymns, and more, along with music fundamentals such as scales, chords, progressions, and cadences.
