Piano Safari: A Great Piano Method Book for Children
Piano Safari Method Book: A Teacher’s Review
Why do I, a professional piano teacher, think Piano Safari by Julie Knerr is a great method book for children?
It has enjoyable tunes that are humorous and are fun for the young pianist to play and sing. Examples include “I Love Coffee, I Love Tea” and “Charlie Chipmunk.”
Many of the pieces in the Piano Safari books create analogies for children to understand such as bouncing like a kangaroo when they play the “Kangaroo” technique exercise to practice non legato playing and to create a relaxed and bouncy sound. Another example would be playing a loud, long note with a relaxed hand like a lion stuffed animal arm.
Learning Techniques & Activities
The Piano Safari method books consist of many learning techniques and activities that are useful to students and teachers. It contains reading pieces, sight reading exercises, rote pieces, theory, technique exercises, folk tunes, and improvisation. The book leans towards the Intervallic Reading Approach, but primarily uses an Eclectic Method.
Reading pieces in the Piano Safari Repertoire Book One start with just using black keys and printing all the finger numbers on the page for unit one. In unit two, students start playing on the white keys where the hand, note, and finger number are listed. All the finger numbers are also listed on the page. In unit three, students move to the grand staff. They use treble G as the landmark note for right hand and treble clef and bass C as the landmark note for left hand and bass clef. In Piano Safari Book One , students continue to stay on the landmark notes for the rest of the book.
In Piano Safari Book Two , middle C is added as a landmark note in both treble and bass clef. It is not until the middle of Piano Safari Book Two that the students graduate from the landmark notes and start using all the notes on the grand staff. Piano Safari slowly moves the students from black keys, to white keys, and then the grand staff so that students can feel comfortable with reading notes and move at a slow and steady pace. When students start learning the grand staff, intervals are slowly introduced.
In book one, students start with seconds and then move to thirds. In the rest of book one, students practice moving in between seconds and thirds. In book two, they learn fifths, then fourths, and practice playing all the intervals together. In book three, they learn the other intervals such as sixths, sevenths, and octaves. It is great that intervals are introduced at a slow and steady pace so that students can become comfortable with intervals before moving to harder repertoire and sightreading.
Sight Reading Exercises
For sight reading exercises, each method book has a set of color-coded sight reading card supplements, corresponding with the different units for each book or level. The cards are like flash cards. Each sight reading card in level one contains a melodic exercise for right hand in treble clef and a melodic exercise for left hand in bass clef.
In level one, the students will start marching the rhythms and use the syllable “ta” for the quarter notes, “ta-two” for half notes, “ta-ti” for eighth notes, and “ta-two-three-four” for whole notes. In level two, students graduate from marching and saying the ta’s. They move to metric counting, which is what professional musicians use.
For metric counting, the students do not march anymore, they tap the rhythms with both hands . The rhythmic exercises start simple at first such as the left hand playing whole notes while the right hand has a busy rhythm. The difficulty gradually goes up through each unit.
In level two and beyond, the cards will start including exercises where both hands play together. All the cards in every level and unit also contain a rhythmic exercise where the students only practice rhythms.
These methods help contribute to student reading skills.
Training to Play by Ear
One of the most unique activities that Piano Safari offers in its method books are rote pieces.
Rote pieces are ear training pieces where students learn how to play repertoire by ear. They are taught by playing the entire piece for the student first, and then dividing the music into different parts, usually line by line. I will teach one or two measures at a time to them and tell them to think of an animal or fruit name to help with the rhythm.
After the first one or two measures are comfortable with the student, I will gradually add on the next one or two measures and review the previous measures consistently until the first part is learned.
After that, I will use the same system for the second part, and the other parts after that. I also constantly review the previous parts. If there are two hands involved with different melodies and rhythms, I will teach one hand at a time and then teach the other hand.
Rote pieces can take up much time to teach, so typically when I teach a rote piece, I usually stretch it to at least two lessons. Piano Safari includes reminder videos on YouTube for the students to use to remember how to play the piece for when they practice at home.
In each Piano Safari level, a theory book is included that contains new material that the students learn in each unit. Students get to practice writing the different clefs, time signatures, notes, and intervals. The theory book also contains review material in each unit to keep up the students’ skills and help them remember previous material.
A unique aspect that the theory book has is compositional practice. This activity is when students are given the time signature, note values, which note to start on, and which intervals to use. Then, they are instructed to write a melody with the given material. The students are given the opportunity to come up with their own ideas or creative variations on the rote pieces.
Piano Safari contains technique exercises in each level that focus primarily on relaxation. In level one, technique exercises are part of the repertoire book and they start with simple exercises such as playing one note at a time with a strong and relaxed sound. In level two, there is a separate technique book from the repertoire book.
Also in level two, students will start learning basic five-finger patterns in different keys and start early practices into playing scales and arpeggios. Students will start playing triads first before getting into arpeggios. In level three, students start learning Hanon exercises and beginner etudes. Technique exercises are typically taught by rote, then the student reads the music, and lastly the student can transpose the exercise into different keys.
Folk tunes are part of the Piano Safari repertoire books. Usually they are pieces such as “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” “The Duke of York,” and “The Bear Went Over the Mountain.” They are similar to the reading pieces where the students practice reading music, but they also use their ears to play the pieces.
Learning the folk tunes introduces students to playing familiar pieces and how to learn songs and pieces that they know on their own by ear and reading music.
Improvisational Exercises
Another interesting activity that Piano Safari offers in its repertoire books are improvisational exercises . In these exercises, the students are told which notes they can play, and the teacher plays a bass line and or a melody. The students play the notes that they are told to play in any order and can make up a rhythm if they stay in time with the teacher. Improvisational exercises allow students to be creative, explore sounds, and imitate the teacher.
Piano Safari Level Breakdown
Here is a break-down of all the different levels.
In Piano Safari level one, the students learn pre-staff notation, the grand staff is introduced, the intervals seconds and thirds are introduced, landmark notes are utilized, and students “march rhythms.” Level one includes a repertoire book, a theory book, and sightreading cards.
In level two, students graduate from landmark notes and start reading all the notes on the staff. They start tapping rhythms, have trickier sight reading examples, and they learn the intervals fourths and fifths. Level two includes a repertoire book, a theory book, a technique book, and sightreading cards. In level three, students learn the other intervals, they start playing more advanced music, and start learning early etude technique exercises.
Level Three
Level three has a repertoire book, a theory book, a technique book, and sightreading cards like level two.
Piano Safari offers all these great activities, and that is one of the reasons that I like to use it with children. My students who have used Piano Safari have developed good habits such as having excellent and relaxed piano technique, they do not look at their hands while reading music, they have a good understanding of rhythm, they are good at using their ears, and they enjoy music.
Enjoying music is the most important thing for students when taking piano lessons. The goal, as teachers, is to keep students wanting to practice and get excited to come to piano lessons. Piano Safari aids the teacher in putting together fun pieces that students enjoy playing and the activities keep students happy and engaged during piano lessons.
Why I Choose to Use This Method Book As a Teaching Guide
As a piano teacher myself, Piano Safari is my favorite method book to use because of all its fun activities it has for children. It goes along with my teaching philosophy which is teaching students good habits at an early age but also teaching them how to enjoy music.
Piano Safari is very helpful for the piano teacher in that it provides teaching guides and teaching videos for teachers to use. It is imperative that teachers always plan before having students, especially when using Piano Safari, because there is so much information to cover. For beginning students especially, piano teachers must plan to make lessons efficient.
When students become more advanced, teachers are mostly reactive to students, meaning students bring in repertoire and teachers aid them on what the students need help with. Piano teachers in general have so much to accomplish with their students. Teachers must break down difficult concepts into something that children can easily understand.
What I appreciate about Piano Safari is that it helps the teachers introduce concepts one at a time to students and slowly walks them through learning how to play piano and become great musicians .
To Conclude
I like to use the Piano Safari book with my students because it has the learning techniques of reading pieces, sight reading exercises, rote pieces, theory activities, technique exercises, folk tunes, and improvisation.
The blended Eclectic Method and intervallic approach create the best of two worlds. The result is a resource that provides students with a great way to read music notation, while learning interesting musical styles and listening skills.
All of Piano Safari’s exercises include fun and silly songs that help students learn to enjoy music and is entertaining for the teachers to teach and introduce new material. I am hopeful that Piano Safari will start to become more popular in the piano teaching world and that more piano teachers will start using this method book for beginning students.
My students have really shown great progress with Piano Safari and they continue to play music and be successful with learning new material. As a music teacher, my goal is to introduce Piano Safari to different piano teachers and encourage teachers to introduce good, early habits and techniques to students so that one day they can become successful pianists.

Description
Additional information.
- Reviews (0)
Although we believe that intervallic reading is the primary way students should learn to read music, a secure and instantaneous recognition of every note on the staff is also imperative. The Piano Safari Note Name Cards may be assigned at the beginning of Piano Safari Level 2 when this concept is introduced, or you may opt to begin the process earlier, during Piano Safari Level 1.
The Piano Safari Note Name Cards are ordered from low C to high C. However, this is not a practical order to introduce the cards to students. Therefore, three possible Introduction Approaches are provided. A card for each Introduction Approach is included for the teacher to track the student’s progress.

Piano Safari Review
by Lauren Lewandowski | Feb 20, 2015 | Reviews
June 2017 Update:
Since writing this review in 2015, I have been teaching the Piano Safari method consistently for two years. I have used it with beginners, adults, and transfer students. I have been extremely impressed with the way students are able to read music by the end of Level 2. This is by far my favorite method for teaching piano!
As I’ve been teaching the series, I’ve also made some supplements along the way. Be sure to check out the free downloads on this page in addition to the Grand Staff Note Speller . The Grand Staff Note Speller coordinates with Level 2 of Piano Safari .
I’ve been very interested in Katherine Fisher and Julie Knerr’s piano method, Piano Safari . I’ve studied piano method books in piano pedagogy courses and am constantly trying new ones with students. Piano Safari is by far the most comprehensive method I’ve seen.
I played through the Level 1 Pack , which includes:
- Repertoire Book
- Sight Reading & Rhythm Cards
- Listening CD
Piano Safari not only uses an intervallic approach to note reading, but also includes rote pieces. The rote pieces will develop the student’s listening skills from the very beginning. The student can use the listening CD to listen to rote pieces before learning the piece with a teacher. The rote pieces allow the student to develop his or her technique and to play beyond the typical level of a first-year student. In the Level 1 Repertoire book, students learn seven different motions (named after animals) that provide a solid foundation for piano technique.
An initial concern for learning rote pieces would be that reading skills might suffer during the time of learning by rote. The teacher can easily supplement learning by rote with the Sight Reading & Rhythm Cards. Each sight reading & rhythm card includes a reading and rhythm example.
The Level 1 Pack is intended to take about a year with students. It may seem like a long time for just one level, but I agree with the creators that the first year is crucial for laying a solid foundation for students.
What if a student is already learning from a different method?
The rote pieces can be purchased as a separate book that also comes with a listening CD. Students can still learn the rote pieces and “animal techniques” while using a different method book. The Sight Reading & Rhythm Cards can also be used without using the repertoire book. I ordered all three levels of the Sight Reading & Rhythm Cards to use with students.
Katherine Fisher and Julie Knerr have a wealth of resources for teachers available on their website . There are teacher guides, videos, and articles.
Katherine and Julie have offered a giveaway of the level one pack to one reader of my blog. If you are interested in trying Piano Safari , leave a comment at the end of this article by February 28. One person will be randomly selected to receive a free Piano Safari level one pack.

I’m so intrigued by the rote pieces and also the seven animal motions! I think the cards will work really well with some of my students!
This sounds interesting! Count us in!
I like the idea of also using rote to develop listening skills!
This is the best explanation I’ve read of Piano Safari! I now understand how it works and am ready to try it! Thank you!
I love Piano Safari! I have been using it with great success this past year. My students really love the rote pieces.
I have taught for over 30 years and have only used this with one student so far, but it will be my choice for all beginners from now on. It is particularly wonderful for the older beginner as it is void of all the cutesy illustrations. Very respectful and so much is covered.
I’m definitely intrigued!
I’m loving Piano Safari – have been using it with students for about 1 year. It’s not just the rote pieces but the excellent introduction to the fundamental movements required for good piano technique. The internet reminder videos demonstrating exercises and rote pieces are a great resource for students – and they provide a great teacher’s guide, mini essays and other pedagogical resources too.
I have been looking forward to exploring these materials!
This looks interesting. I really like the idea of rote pieces.
is this also for kids?
Yes, it works well for children. I’ve been using it with a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old this year.
