Creative Keys: Nordic Adventures Volume I

A first-of-its-kind piano adventure, “Creative Keys: Nordic Adventures” by Kathryn Brunner blends storytelling, multi-level music instruction, expressive movement, and audiation-centered learning into one immersive journey. Designed to grow with the student year after year, these volumes give teachers and parents tools to ignite creativity and deep music understanding across all tonalities and meters.

Experience the wonder of audiation-based piano learning with “Creative Keys: Nordic Adventures, Volume I”— a multi-level curriculum rooted in Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory. Designed for beginning to elementary students in group or private lessons, this approach follows a natural, sequential process that nurtures musical intuition and understanding on the path to music literacy.

Each song is presented in three or four levels, allowing students to progress at their own pace while developing a strong foundation in rhythm, melody, and harmony. 

Travel through the Nordic countries in song and story to meet polar bears, the arctic fox, puffins, the Swedish Tomten, and the beloved Dala Horse. Along the way, students will sing, chant rhythms, discover chord roots, and explore essential piano skills through playful, pattern-based activities.

Enrich your musical journey with a curated reading list featuring classic children’s books that bring Nordic folklore, wildlife, and landscapes to life. Continue the adventure with beginning to intermediate pieces in Volume II.

Story Cards are sold separately. 

Volume I is 130 pages total. Ships in 4-6 weeks.
