What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
Young and new players learn best with clear, uncluttered pages and manageable parts. This book uses extra-large music notation so kids and adults can see notes, rhythms, and symbols quickly and comfortably. Each arrangement is simplified for beginner technique, with carefully chosen hand positions and patterns that make playing with two hands easier. Limited material per page helps students stay focused on one short section at a time, reducing overwhelm and encouraging success at the keyboard.
What Music Does the Book Include?
The book features dozens of simple piano solos by world-famous composers and timeless hymn writers. Students will find classic, recognizable melodies that sound rich even at an easy level. The collection includes beloved pieces such as “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” “Ave Maria,” “Bridal Chorus,” “Hallelujah,” and many more classic and time-tested selections. These pieces are arranged to be accessible to beginners while still preserving the beauty of the original music.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
Yes. Each song in the book is supported by online MP3 play-along recordings, so students can hear how the piece should sound and practice along at home. In addition, the book includes a special section in the back where each song appears in a “fake book” style with melody and chords. This lets guitarists, accompanists, or other instrumentalists join in, turning solo practice into an ensemble experience and encouraging collaboration.
