on: July 23, 2004, 12:55:30 AM
What sorts of the materials suitable for students of different level?

e.g. what kind of materials are good for finger practise?
What kinds of materials are usually used for beginner | intermedia students?

finger beginners: the best is undoubtedly Beyer, used extensively in Asia with the success we know

I know it's very popular in Asia that use Beyer, Modern Courses by John Tompson, and Czerny. However, most of the students think that these kind of materials are really bored... is there any interested one?

students get bored no matter what you use. They prefer Nintendo than effort and discipline.

Try Scarlatti sonatas. Have a look here for suggestions:

For the young beginner, you may like to look at the series A Dozen A Day.  Each exercise has a stick figure drawing and a name to give the child a 'feeling' for the exercise.

ah hanon is a good one for finger exercise.. though it might be a bit dry, but if the student is motivated it's good for finger independence.  :D
