The Beginner Piano Lessons for Kids Book, complete with Online Video & Audio Access by Jay Wamsted, is expertly designed to guide absolute beginners on their journey to proficiently playing the piano or keyboard. This comprehensive step-by-step course is specifically tailored for elementary school-aged children (ages 5-11) and rapidly instructs the student in playing familiar and beloved songs.
Beginning with the right hand, the lessons progressively incorporate the left hand thumb and eventually teach the student to harmoniously play with both hands. Song arrangements have been meticulously chosen to ensure a smooth transition from mastering the basics to tackling more complex rhythms, techniques, and musical concepts.
The book presents each song and exercise in standard music notation, supplemented with fingering notation and hand shifts, making the learning process accessible and enjoyable. The course also provides online access to over an hour of video instruction. This invaluable resource promotes proper form and timing, with the piano, both hands, and the sheet music all visible on-screen simultaneously.
Audio tracks offer the opportunity for the student to practice and play along with easy songs at two different speeds. The slower version is purely instrumental, featuring only the piano, while the faster version creates a concert-like atmosphere with vocals and additional instruments.
The harmonious blend of the book, video, and audio components culminates in an unparalleled comprehensive piano course for children.
