ARTICLES
There are many exciting new publications to explore for students age 5 to 95 from My First Piano
Adventure for the Young Beginner to Adult Piano Adventures for life-long learners.
Decades of teaching and writing have taught us many things. Perhaps most significant is the importance
of music in our society, in our families, and its unique ability to transform individuals of all ages.
We are thankful for the many teachers and students who throughout the years have made our piano
adventure so vibrant, creative, and purposeful.
Please browse the catalog with a cup of coffee or tea. Check out the online resources. And, by all
means, write or email us. We would love to hear from you.

A Pre-Reading Approach for Ages 5-6
MY FIRST PIANO ADVENTURE
Music lessons for the young are activity-based and full of play. Five delightful
friends at the piano engage the student with fun pre-reading songs, rhythm games, and
technique activities. These develop a foundation of aural perception, physical coordination,
and eye-tracking for note reading. An adventure for student, teacher, and parent!

Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. Classic themes share the stage with pop and jazz sounds for

and theory are presented with games and creative exploration at the piano.
