Piano Pattern Detective: A piano sight-reading mystery adventure

From the author of the popular piano book, 'Who Stole My Pizza?', is this fun sight-reading mystery for piano! Budding detectives follow the clues to find the spy at the Piano Note Factory in a 'guess who' style adventure. Search for the clues and evidence to rule out suspects one by one and catch the chaos causing culprit! There are many ingredients to becoming a good sight reader. In this book, help Detective Drake solve the case by finding patterns in the music, reading intervals of a 2nd and 3rd (or steps and skips), looking at the rise and fall of the notes on the stave, and much more. Each chapter includes a 'spotlight' section with mini exercises to play on the spot. There are clues everywhere and the book is full of puzzles! Complete match ups, mazes, coloring activities, scrambles and more. Find out who was in the canteen eating lunch at the time of the crime or follow the 'Footprint Maze' to rule out suspects. The notes cover all the lines and spaces of the treble and bass clef staves. Playing is one hand at a time and each exercise is in a different five finger position on the piano. It uses notes of 1, 2, 3 and 4 beats plus time signatures of 2, 3 and 4 crotchet or quarter note beats in a bar/measure. Piano Pattern Detective is ideal for students from the end of a level one method book or at the start of level 2A. The only way to catch the spy is to use sight-reading skills!
