The PUZZLEMAKER: discovering the art of patterns | Practice Incentive Theme

>>COMING SUMMER 2025>>

Have you ever experienced the satisfaction of locating just the right puzzle piece to form the next part of the picture? Music is like a puzzle, with parts like rhythm and pitch and movement comprising the whole. With a relatively small variety of note values we can create thousands of rhythmic combinations. With only twelve distinct pitches on the piano keyboard we can form dozens of scales and compose millions of melodies. With just ten fingers, we can play music ranging from the simplicity of Mary Had a Little Lamb to the complexity of a Beethoven concerto. Each of these parts is essential for creating a beautiful and artistic whole, just like a puzzle. The PUZZLEMAKER: discovering the art of patterns is a practice incentive theme that will have students learning and mastering rhythm patterns, pitch patterns, and movement patterns to become excellent pianists. Along the way they’ll be collecting one puzzle piece at a time until they have acquired all the pieces they need to complete a beautiful puzzle!

Downloadable Package Includes: 155-page student Assignment Book; teacher instructions; files to print a studio wall banner; display pictures; and additional teaching suggestions and resources.

Please Note: This is a downloadable product that will be available to you immediately upon payment completion. This saves time and money on shipping and includes the right to make as many copies as you need for your studio. There will be time and expense involved in printing copies of the studio decor and assignment books for your students, so please factor that into the overall cost of implementing the practice incentive theme. I charge a registration fee for each student due by August 1 that covers these expenses for my studio.
