METHOD TO MASTERWORKS
Let’s talk about getting our students into intermediate repertoire!
SO MUCH PIANO MUSIC
When our beginning students complete an elementary method (or come near the end of one), they do not have the skills required to play advanced classical music.
Have you ever overestimated your student’s ability and then regretted your choice of repertoire?
What do we do with our students at this level?
How do we facilitate a smooth transition from a beginning method to an intermediate repertoire series or exam system?
How do I know which books to use?
This is where my amazing spreadsheet comes in!
I have created a list of all of the historical pieces found within several standard beginner methods. Then I lined up these very same pieces with the intermediate repertoire series books in which they are found.
This allows you to launch your student into an intermediate series book based on their current ability.
They will feel comfortable, and your introduction of historical repertoire will be
smooth and successful.
BONUS!
Included in your purchase is a 20-minute video where I introduce you to the spreadsheet and tell you which books are my personal favorites.
AND - I tell you exactly what I have done with students of mine who have used the Piano Adventures curriculum and gone on into intermediate study.

“Initially, I found myself overwhelmed by the plethora of anthology and literature collections available in the piano world. While previously relying on just one or two books because I grew up with them, my desire to explore further was met with confusion. Thanks to Janna’s creation, I can now plan effectively and broaden my teaching horizons.”
“I have been teaching for over 20 years and have never thought of putting this spreadsheet together. I feel like every time I branch out early from the method or after finishing the method, I do the long work EACH TIME of figuring out where the student should go next based on where they are, their interests, etc. Thank you for this resource makes the work simpler.”
