Author: joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!

Keep at it: My First Piano Lessons by Emily Norris
#MyFirstPianoLessons #NetGalley
This book, along with the author’s My First Piano Sheet Music, are good resources for kids who want to play the piano. This title introduces music concepts like the Treble and Bass Clefs, types of notes, staffs and more.. There are many songs to practice including Alouette, The Wheels on the Bus and more. Each is tied to the concept of a lesson.
This book is a good resource for little learners. Hopefully, it will make learning to play the piano fun.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for this title. All opinions are my own.
