read, in a range of approachable musical styles >>--> warm-up and technical
exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key

--> simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore musical
ideas and familiarize themselves with with the “feel” of each key >>--> longer
solo pieces, and some duets and trios, for additional sight-reading practice,
to learn quickly, and play through for fun.
