My First Piano Adventure - Writing Book A

Faber Piano Adventures: Writing Book A – My First Piano Adventure

Faber Piano Adventures: Writing Book A is an engaging introduction to early music learning, designed for young beginners at the pre-reading level (typically ages 5–6). Authored by Nancy Faber and Randall Faber, this resource blends playful characters with creative activities to help children connect sound, sight, and writing in a fun and interactive way.

Published in 2007, this 64-page softcover workbook aligns directly with Lesson Book A, providing reinforcement through hands-on “pencil activities.” Using the mascots Tucker the dog and Blinker the owl, children are guided to match rhythms, discover melodic patterns, and begin composing their own music while developing core aural and visual skills.
