This unique method was designed specifically for young students who are beginning piano study in a group setting. This easy-to-teach beginners course includes all of the most important components to develop comprehensive musicians and performers. CDs and MIDI Disks have accompaniments that range from simple drum patterns to full orchestrations that add musical interest and motivate students.
Reviews
I reviewed several methods to teach a five year old private piano lessons. This one is better for 7-9 year olds. Little kids get distracted easily and I found the pages too cluttered. I have tried Bastiens Piano Party, but I find that it can be overwhelming as well with all three books. I used Alfed's Kids Piano Course for my student because it doesn't have as much on a page. The advantage to the method I am reviewing is that the theory, ear training, and sight training are included in one book. Like I said earlier, a beginner with a longer attention span would probably do well with this method.
