Piano for the Young Beginner: Primer B (Bastien Piano Basics)

Description

Never before, nor since, has there been a piano method as easy to follow, as pedagogically sound, as exciting to look at, as musical to play - and as well-designed for motivation, achievement, and success as BASTIEN PIANO BASICS. The Bastien Piano Basics method is comprised of five completely correlated course books PIANO, THEORY, PERFORMANCE, TECHNIC, and A LINE A DAY SIGHT READING. Bastien Piano Basics uses a gradual multi-key approach, with reading beginning in the C five-finger position. Five levels of carefully graded lesson material provide constant opportunities for reinforcing basic concepts. It's the smoothest, most heart-warming, most entertaining, most musical way to teach eager youngsters the joys of playing the piano. And comprehensive, page-by-page correlation makes Bastien Piano Basics remarkably easy to teach! Review: So easy to learn on for little ones! - My 9 year old daughter just started taking piano lessons last year, so we purchased this Piano for the Young Beginner Primer B paperback book for her. Her piano teacher, who has been playing and teaching the piano for 20 years, highly recommends Bastein books for learning on. This is the only brand we will buy for our daughter since she is learning so easily with them. The book has pretty good illustrations too. These songs are easy for her to master and are helping her grow at a good pace. It took her a couple months to master all the songs. The levels of the book make it easy to figure out which book to buy next. Songs included: -Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star -Two Little Blackbirds - Kitty's In the Well - Playing On the Monkey Bars - On the Swing - The Frog and the Bee - Little Engine - In a Second - Humpty Dumpty - Birthday Party - Goldfish - Three Funny Clowns - Bow, Wow, Wow! - My Valentine - My Gray Cat - Four Spiders Crawling - The Silly Scarecrow - At the Zoo - Two Ducks - Five Toy Soldiers - My Son John - Bears at Rest - Bobbie the Robot - Church Bells - Floating Clouds - Indian Drums - Jumping Rope Fun - Our Hall Clock - Stepping Up and Down - Our World - Pop! Pop! Pop! - Love Somebody - Red Balloons - The Singing Donkey - Electric Bass - The Dragon Monster - Old Mother Hubbard - Little Indian Brave I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have to help you figure out if this is a book that might work for you.

No other method series will encompass what the youngest beginner needs and also offer material for older beginners as well. I highly recommend all the Bastian books.
