key skills and concepts that need remediation from basic to advanced level in a short time frame.
The resource includes 10 units of work which can be completed independently:
Rhythm, Pitch, Scales and Key Signatures, Intervals, Triads, Transposition,
Cadences, Melody Writing, Accents in Verse, Performance Indications

THE PRIVIA SERIES
Young ones starting
piano lessons?
Why a digital piano?

a very popular means for parents to get
a piano in the house without spending...
well, a fair bit more!
88-key digital pianos by Casio
11 tones including a beautiful piano tone, split and layer functions,
auto accompaniments, metronome, pedal, bass-reflex speakers...
$1,495
They also offer the following:
PRIVIA PX-310
A far superior sound and action than most
acoustic pianos on offer for the same money.
$1,695
Savings in maintainance, space and even
savings in sanity with the option of playing with
headphones when Mum and Dad have had a
long, hard day!
Ideal as a stage piano - lightweight for ease of transport
202 tones, 120 auto accompaniments, registration memory...
PRIVIA PX-400R
The complete mix of a digital piano and quality keyboard functions,
very user-friendly, high quality tones - the perfect alternative piano!
$2,295

The newest model in the Privia range with a more permanent look for
your living room. Complete with attached 3 pedal unit.
11 tones, speakers rotable from inwards to outwards for an audience!
$2,295
A bit of fun when the serious practice has finished
- some cool accompaniment rhythms and some
very nice alternative tones like strings, organs
etc.
Most importantly, they can be used right through
to an advanced level - exam boards will even use
them as examination pianos when acoustics are
not available. This has only happened recently
with the quality taking huge leaps and bounds
upwards!

Did you know??
Middle and high school students who participated in instrumental music scored significantly higher than their non-band peers
in standardised tests. University studies conducted in Georgia and Texas (USA) found significant correlations between the
number of years of instrumental music instruction and academic achievement in maths, science and language arts.
