The Step 1-3 of Step series, hopes to provide a very sound foundation for reading, understanding and position shifts. It enables teachers to develop musicianship, finger technique (strength, independence, perfect legato and staccato, gradation (sharp contrasts of loud and soft first, and then getting louder and softer), recognition of basic key concepts, reinforcing reading in familiar keys with advances in other concepts (either tone, articulation or addition of new skills) and a clear feel of rhythm using familiar tunes and enjoyable “talk about” integration of theoretical and aural aspects. It is also hoped that with the familiar tunes parents also know, support and encouragement, so vital during these early stages will be given by them. This basic firm and “Step by Step” concept gradually frees out into the Classical world of styles and interpretation, not forgetting that major part of “Fun Pieces” still included at the back of every book for the enjoyment of the children and parents. The Step 4 links the Step books 1-3 to the Master Series where more serious pieces are included to prepare the student for entering the Grades with ease. With the basic concept of technique and reading, it should be used along side the Master series book 1. As the student enters more difficult reading in spread out positions, this books supports that whilst reinforcing the basic positions and articulation learnt in the past. Students feel a sense of achievement (at least with book 4 whilst they take longer to learn the Master book 1) when they can read a piece with ease whilst they are learning the new positions which often puts them in a slower time for mastering the more Classical pieces. It serves as substantial study (etude), sight reading reinforcement, fun piece (which can be memorised as it will master the technique really well) and a bridge to the Classics.
