Description: Explore musical ideas to play music creatively using music theory that you have learned. To put music theory into practice is to apply theory in an artistic and creative manner. Every piece of music in this publication appears in a few variations. Each variation offers musical ideas that make it sound interesting and at times, stylistically different.

Lu La Lay (3 variations)
Number Song (2 variations)
Five Hundred Miles (2 variations)
De Camptown Races (4 variations)
Mickey Waltz (4 variations)

• Perform the variations on a song
• Listen to the variations
• Analyse musical ideas

Music is connected in all elements. We cannot isolate a piece to teach without involving any aural awareness, and neither can we teach theory without ‘hearing’ the theory, (e.g. we have to hear the pitch of a sharpened note when we teach the accidental - sharp ‘#’). This cohesive organisation of thoughts and actions will make your lessons invaluable and interesting to your students. With it intertwined together, the lessons becomes ‘alive’ and musically enriching. — The ART of Teaching by Alice Chua

• The ART of Teaching (AoT) is written specially for teachers who are teaching beginners. It is written in simple instruction and AoT is very much suited to be used alongside all piano tutor books and graded syllabus as teaching music elements are applicable to all piano tutor books — pieces, scales, sight-reading, aural training, theory, composition, improvisation and technique building. Let’s move on together for a more ‘musical’ music education for the new generation. They deserve a better music education than ours!

Set goals that are attainable, then slowly raise the bar. It is better to play something easier and master it, understand the character and technicalities of the piece, before moving on to more difficult pieces. Do not straightaway choose pieces that are too difficult, to avoid frustration and discouragement. - Helen Yeo, Musical Moments
