In Grade 4 of Succeeding at the Piano students continue to cultivate musicianship and a passion for playing piano! New concepts are: triads and inversions - two octave scales - the circle of fifths - dominant seventh chords in root position - the trill - the key of B flat Major - 3 forms of E minor and G minor - diminished triads - refined pedal technique - sixteenth notes and sixteenth notes variants. Bach’s Prelude in C BWV 846 and classical themes by Brahms, Liszt, Mozart, Beethoven and Grieg are interspersed with folk tunes and original solos by leading FJH composers. By reviewing the concepts of transposing, musical forms, intervals, and technical tips, Grade 4 supports thepedagogical foundation laid down in previous grades. The writing exercises are short and varied yet very useful and informative. The attractive format includes: fill in the blank - drawing - matching - and “Time to Create -” and a new icon introduced in Grade 4 called “Quick Analysis.” The concepts reinforced are: triads in root position and inversions - key signatures - intervals - dominant seventh chords - three forms of minor scales - cadences - the circle of fifths - sixteenth notes and more!
