Description

Children learn best when they can learn through multi-sensory means. By using hearing, seeing, and kinesthetic methods, Emily Arrow has created this easy and fun book for children to use as an introduction to learn how to play the piano. The book is a simple and much-needed piano method for beginning musicians ages 6 and older. Her process, following the Orff Shulwerk method, is very approachable as she walks young musicians through 12 lessons learning musical notes and chords on a keyboard through a colour dot method. She uses stickers to represent the notes, flashcards to learn the rainbow chords and video/audio links for students to access for further help. The book also introduces young minds to important musical vocabulary, fun facts and the history of the piano and provides a practice chart. It even provides online audio access so young minds can hear what the piece should sound like. If your child needs an easy and fun guide to learning the piano, this is the book for you.
