All children have music inside them, but loving music can become work when learning to play it. From veteran arranger Carol Tornquist comes Music in Me, a piano method designed to teach children not only how to play a keyboard instrument, but to understand how music works, and ultimately how to create their very own music as a personal expression of worship. Music in Me features a series of five levels for beginning piano students including: Lesson, Theory& Technique, Creativity, Praise & Worship (solos to play) and Hymns & Holidays (solos to play). Each level has an individual book, with the first three books coordinated to be used together. The piano solo books include optional duet parts for teachers or more advanced students. Music in Me is a dynamic resource that offers children the life-long gift of being able to make their own music. With the confidence that comes from positive music-making experiences, they will be better equipped to become the songwriters, church musicians and worship leaders for tomorrow's church. Highlights include: - fun, age appropriate illustrations - step-by-step lessons in an organized format - lessons and resources for student songwriting - Bible-based songs and concepts and Scripture memory verses - early exposure to harmony and ear training - learning to read and understand chord symbols - playing with both hands beginning at Level One.

Not working for young beginner
This series may be okay for older beginners, but for one of my seven year old students, it's just moving too fast. Her hand is too small to comfortably be playing sixths already (after just 2 or 3 months of lessons). And both hands together came too soon for her. Also, I'm finding that students are playing too much by ear and not really reading the notes or their values, since they know most of the songs presented. I'm switching these students back to Alfred's, which introduces smaller intervals first, moves more slowly and provides more songs for reinforcement of concepts. However, I would still recommend the Hymns book and especially the Praise & Worship books. I will still use these as supplementary materials.

Giving it a try
This is the first time I've used this piano method with my students. The parents are excited about the Christian material. I haven't been able to find many reviews from other teachers, so I was a little bit hesitant to try it. But, so far, I think I like it. I have always used the Alfred's series, and I think that was easier to teach from. However, my students are learning easily and they enjoy being able to already play songs they know. Also, I think this method will definitely encourage more creativity and writing on the part of the student, which I think is a wonderful feature. One disadvantage is that the solo books, Hymns and Praise/Worship, are not perfectly sequenced or correlated to the lesson book. So, it is up to the teacher, to determine when a student is ready for each of these songs. This is a minor issue though.
