Mientras vivía en México, Janet enseñó piano y educación musical en el Seminario Bautista Mexicano desde 1984 hasta 2000. Pronto descubrió que sus estudiantes mexicanos no se relacionaban con las melodías populares que se encuentran en los métodos de piano traducidos. Janet escribió este nuevo método que utiliza muchas melodías infantiles y populares originales de la cultura mexicana. A pesar de que varias de las melodías en el libro de primer nivel no se usan actualmente o no son conocidas, estas canciones brindan una mejor base para la enseñanza de elementos musicales básicos en cualquier cultura de la lengua española. Para capturar el flujo de la música más completamente, la secuencia de la introducción de algunos elementos varía algo de los métodos tradicionales. Por ejemplo, las octavas notas se enseñan mucho antes de lo habitual, de modo que las canciones pueden fluir con más autenticidad. Este material se ha utilizado con éxito como herramienta de enseñanza en el Seminario Bautista Mexicano y en todo México desde 1994. While living in Mexico, Janet taught piano and music education at the Mexican Baptist Seminary from 1984 until 2000. She soon found that her Mexican students did not relate to the folk tunes found in translated piano methods. Janet wrote this new method which uses many children's and folk melodies original to the Mexican culture. Even though several of the melodies in the first level book are not currently used or well-known, these songs provide a better foundation for teaching basic musical elements in any Spanish language culture. In order to capture the flow of the music more completely, the sequence of the introduction of some elements varies somewhat from traditional methods. For instance, eighth notes are taught much earlier than is customary so that the songs can flow with more authenticity. This material has been used successfully as a teaching tool at the Mexican Baptist Seminary and throughout Mexico since 1994.
