FROM OUR BLOG
AMEB is very proud to announce the product of our first collaboration with an international music publisher: an Australian edition of the innovative Bastien New Traditions All In One piano course. We have worked very closely with Kjos Music Company, the publishers of Bastien New Traditions, to produce an edition tailored to the needs of Australian users and fully integrated with AMEB’s P Plate Piano series. We think that the outcome will prove an indispensable resource for teachers, students and parents around the country.
Â
Piano teachers may be familiar with the time-tested Bastien Piano Basics series; a comprehensive piano method for beginners comprising course books on Piano, Theory, Performance, Technic, and Sight Reading. Bastien New Traditions combines these aspects of musicianship in a series of All In One books, updated with the latest teaching ideas and techniques.
Â
Bastien New Traditions presents the basics of musical notation, fundamental piano technique and even aspects of interpretation through a course of approachable and fun pieces and exercises in attractive full-colour publications. The result is a comprehensive resource designed to be enjoyable and easy to use for teachers, students and parents alike.
Â
AMEB recognises Bastien New Traditions as an excellent method for taking absolute beginners through to the kind of repertoire encountered at Preliminary level on the AMEB Piano or Piano for Leisure Syllabuses and, as such, the series complements AMEB’s own P Plate Piano. For the convenience of Australian users, we have fully integrated these two resources by including footnotes to many of the Bastien New Traditions items, referencing pieces in P Plate Piano that build similar skills for a broader learning experience.
Â
We have further tailored the Bastien New Traditions series to an Australian audience by changing musical terms that are more familiar to American users, such as ‘quarter note’ and ‘measure’, to terms used more commonly in Australia, such as ‘crotchet’ and ‘bar’.
Â
Bastien New Traditions currently comprises five volumes: Primer A, Primer B, Level 1A, Level 1B and Level 2A and this exciting new resource is now available at Print Music Works.Â
We’re excited to launch our first online store after more than twenty years serving the music community from our bricks and mortar shop in Fitzroy.
Like most musicians, print music is still the butter to our bread. We’re proud to offer the same extensive range of choral sheets, print music, AMEB grade books and manual list pieces with the convenience of online checkout and fast and competitive shipping.
We’ll keep you updated about new products, sales, and random things of interest to musicians through this blog. It’s all part of sharing our dedication and excitement about music.
