Faber Piano AdventuresPlayTime Rock 'n Roll Level 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-page supplementary piano book of rock-styled pieces at Level 1, for students already working through a Level 1 method.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Level 1 piano students who want something other than folk tunes
- Teachers adding motivating repertoire between method book units
- Kids losing interest partway through their first year
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners with no note-reading yet — this assumes Level 1 skills
- Students past Level 1 who need more range and hand independence
- Anyone wanting a standalone method; there's no instruction sequence here
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
PlayTime series
Supplementary repertoire, not a lesson book. It reinforces what the Level 1 method already taught rather than introducing new concepts.
Detail 03
12 pages
A short collection, not a semester of material. Most students work through it in a few weeks alongside their method book.
Detail 04
Softcover, 12 x 9 inches
Standard music-book size, so it fits a piano desk and sits reasonably flat on a stand.
Detail 05
Faber Piano Adventures, arranged by Randall and Nancy Faber
Fingering, note range and pacing match the rest of the Faber Level 1 books, so it slots in without a jump in difficulty.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is supplementary — you still need the Level 1 Lesson book for instruction
- 02No audio, CD or backing tracks are included with the book
- 03Check the student's current Faber level; Primer students will find this too hard
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a complete piano method?
No. It's a supplementary repertoire book. Students learn technique and reading from the Faber Level 1 Lesson book and use this for extra playing material.
02What level do I need to be to play this?
Faber Level 1 — past the Primer, reading in a limited range with both hands. If a student is still on Primer material, wait.
03Does it include play-along audio?
The book is a 12-page softcover with no audio included.
04Are these actual rock songs?
They're rock-styled pieces arranged by Randall and Nancy Faber for Level 1 players, written to fit the series' reading range.
