Santa Brought a Keyboard or Toy Piano - Now What?
I’ve received several calls the last few days from parents whose children received keyboards or toy pianos for Christmas. They are in search of a fun and rewarding first experience at the piano. Most of the keyboards and toy pianos available come with some sort of songbook to peak the interest of the child. Unfortunately, they’re often too difficult for young children to follow, or don’t teach the beginning piano concepts children need to learn in order to receive all the benefits of early piano study. Other programs require more time at the computer than the piano, or resemble video games more than piano lessons.

Piano for Preschoolers combines the fun experience of playing songs the kids already love with lessons that teach the concepts children must master to be prepared for further study. The kids have so much fun playing songs they recognize on their new instrument with parents and grandparents singing along, they don’t even realize they are mastering these beginning piano concepts. This combination of an exciting and fun first experience and step-by-step mastery of rhythm, fingering, reading music, etc. is what has helped so many families successfully teach their young children to play the piano using our program.

I know there are many choices out there when it comes to beginning piano lessons. As you consider the different options available, I’m happy to help you make the right choice for your child. I firmly believe that a caring parent or grandparent is the best first piano teacher. Using our award-winning method you can teach your child beginning piano even if you’ve never played a note in your life. It’s critical that your child’s first experience at the piano be fun and rewarding but actually teach them to play. The confidence your child gains playing songs everybody knows will carry you both through the lessons and build a solid foundation for further study. Congratulations on recognizing the importance of early piano instruction and giving your child the best first experience available. Enjoy these special times together.
