Samantha Coates has been working on an exciting new project: a repertoire series which brings rote and reading together. These two concepts are not usually found in the same sentence, let alone the same lesson!
For example, think of the typical Suzuki transfer student, who goes to a ‘traditional’ teacher and is suddenly thrown into a completely different process whereby they are told to stop playing all the pieces they have mastered and only play pieces they can read. What usually happens in this situation is that the student quickly becomes bored and/or frustrated. Samantha has have developed a way for rote and reading to not just co-exist but to actually complement each other.
BlitzBooks Rote Repertoire
Samantha has now released the new Blitzbooks Rote Repertoire website! BlitzBooks Rote Repertoire combines the concepts of rote and reading, as well as teaching the invaluable skills of listening, analysing, memorising and composing. The series is a unique way to teach sight reading through rote playing. Each piece is highly patterned and easy to remember. It is also comfortable to play and enables students to focus on a good technique.
There are many more introductory videos on the site explaining the overall concept, and a free Quick Start Teacher Guide which goes into a lot of detail about the approach. The pieces themselves come in ‘packs’ with support materials, and there is a free pack called Opposite Day for you to try out (click below). The collection will grow quickly, as there is a new release every week.
Packs can be purchased individually, or you can opt for a membership which includes ALL current pieces PLUS the new releases emailed straight to your inbox every Sunday!
