Easiest Piano Course Part One - Book Only

I love this book because it teaches the basics (lines, spaces, whole, half, quarter notes, along with name of note etc. I haven't given piano lessons for at least 10 years, but am starting my granddaughter, and this book was not available during the early years of teaching children...

. All that was offered for the bginner was Teaching Little Fingers to Play. I also like the cartoon characters. I think she will learn very easily everything she needs to know with this book. Ethel Kolbe

This book explains to children about music for the piano. It tells you about the staff, the treble clef, the bass clef, and the types of notes, starting with middle C. It also explains about the C major scale.

This book completely by-passes the usual "start on only the black keys with no lines or spaces" approach. I am using it with great success for a kindergarten beginner. It goes straight to reading notes on both clefs, and has seven different cute and brightly colored "creatures" associated with...

each note of the scale, so this helps the student read successfully so much faster than other methods. John Thompson has always been great, but decades-old illustrations just didn't cut it and now that's fixed!

Covers the basics. Treble and bass clefs. Whole notes, half notes, quarter notes. Middle C and the other basic notes of the scale(s). Brief, but effective.

Student loves it and so do I. It's fun and creative as well as easy learnng.
