A: The lessons taught in Level 1 of the Supersonics Piano Method are suitable for children aged 6+ years. Older students and adults might find the accelerated learning in Quick Start A provides a more suitable lesson pace. Q: If I want to transfer my students to your method from another, how do I know where to start? A: The best entry points into the Supersonics Piano Method are at Level 1, Blast Off Bridge and Level 4. Q: What techniques and skills will my students master by using this piano method? A: By the end of Level 1, students will be confident and effective players and be able to: link musical symbol to sound, read effectively, learn pieces by rote, transpose, play in time, play with good technique, display a wide dynamic range, understand and express a range of musical gestures, play simple pop chords, harmonise simple melodies, respond to creative stimuli and much more. Q: It looks like a lot of the pieces are in "C position". Is this the case? A: No. By using different finger combinations, wide-ranging rote pieces and transposition early in the book and small stretches and moving around the thumb later in the book students avoid getting locked into a 5 finger mindset. Q: How will I know when my student is ready for the next level in the Supersonics Piano Method? A: When your student gets to the end of this first method book, use your judgement as to whether you feel they're ready to move onto Level 2. If you'd like to spend more time consolidating the skills and techniques learned, you might like to use 'Land of the Middle Seas'.
