I love the John Thompson series for young children beginning their study of music. For 3 and 4 year olds, I start out with John Thompson's Easiest Piano Book. We also work on keyboard orientation, understanding and mastery of the musical alphabet, note values, and rhythm.

I find that students interests will quickly guide me to making suggestions for different repertoire to take on as the student is ready. Read More
