My First Piano Book

A beginners piano music book specifically designed for children aged 4 to 7, featuring a story of seven animals - each representing a musical note.

The book is filled with colourful illustrations and stories connected to musical concepts, making it easy for kids to understand and remember them. It includes a diverse collection of pieces, worksheets, fun games and art and craft activities, sequentially organised, providing a gentle learning pace, especially during the initial stages.
Students are guided to develop fluency in symbol-to-sound recognition, enhance finger dexterity and coordination, sharpen auditory perception and develop musical creativity.

The presented method is a valuable resource for piano teachers, being particularly beneficial for those new to teaching this age group, as it provides guidance on effective strategies for piano lessons and appropriate content selection.

The book has been reviewed by pedagogy professors Dr. Shaw (Director of Postgraduate Studies, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) and Dr.Whittaker (Head of Pedagogy, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire), and piano professorKatharine Lam (Senior Lecturer in Piano and Piano Pedagogy, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire).
This edition uses British English terminology, such as 'crotchet' instead of 'quarter note'.
