The Fabers' instructional theory "ACE" - Analysis, Creativity, and Expression, guides the pedagogy of My First Piano Adventure.

It includes favourites like ‘Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses’, ‘Peter Taps with One Hammer’ and ‘The Wheels on the Bus’, as well as playful new pieces, featuring dinosaurs, superheroes, aliens, scooters and more!Music notation is explored through stepwise directional reading, pattern recognition, and changing hand positions, all in the context of engaging songs, games and creative exploration at the piano. With real passion the author describes how piano music can sing, dance or paint a picture as in by Clair de Lune by Debussy.

The first book is about teaching children familiarisation of the keyboard, counting one, two and four beats and difference between treble/bass clef with a series of visual simple pieces. It provides a range of additional pieces, puzzles and activities for students from around the age of five. Part one looks at the range and potential of the piano, as a solo instrument or accompanying other instruments in a duet, trio or with an orchestra. Finger numbers are given for the black keys, but for the white keys, students and teachers are encouraged to develop their own fingering.The orchestrated songs feature children singing the lyrics, which has great appeal to the 5-6 year old beginner.
