Piano Lessons Book 1 for Kids | Beginner Piano Learning and Sheet Music Book | Easy Piano Method for Children with Fun Songs and Structured Lessons | ... Students and Teachers

by Phillip Keveren (Composer), Mona Rejino

(Educational Piano Library). From the very first lessons in Book 1, students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song . The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers, the black-key and white-key groups, and basic rhythm patterns. Directional reading is taught first by finger number, then by note name, and then by interval (stop, skip, and repeat). Once the students are introduced to the staff, they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read by interval in several different hand positions.
