About The Music Tree
The Music Tree series continues the development of complete musicianship by providing the beginner with delightful and varied repertoire. The pupil learns a variety of idioms encompassing folk, jazz and pop. The creativity of the students is emphasized since they are given musical segments to rearrange, transpose, complete or to use as the basis for a new composition. Technical aspects are also addressed including greater facility, blocked intervals and chords, and more hands together playing. Guided training steps are used to encourage intelligent practice skills.

Still the best!
I love these books!! Teaching intervalic reading in the best way, with landmark notes C, G, F. Large motor movement all over the keyboard immediately ensures beginner students use their bodies correctly with no tension. Using the whole hand too early causes stress and bad habits, this method does it gradually with wonderful warmups, building the hand shape naturally. Slurs and dynamics are also taught early on to instill listening skills to the early student. Speaking the words in the songs teaches rhythm naturally in a fun way. After the yellow, red and green, most students can graduate into more intermediate classical repertoire with strong reading & rhythm skills and well formed technique. Those who still need more time, can continue into the blue book. Thank you for an amazing series!

The Music Tree and Activity Book
My Grandmother taught piano lessons all her adult life, even in a wheelchair into her nineties. When I asked her what method she taught from, she said, The Music Tree only. A little shocked, I decided I would begin teaching piano lessons with this method. Though I do not teach wholly from 'The Music Tree' my beginner students benefit tremedously by starting out or supplementing with The Music Tree - Time to Begin Primer and Activity Book. You can only know what I mean by giving it a try.
