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.

Let’s play: My First Piano Sheet Music by Emily Norris

#MyFirstPianoSheetMusic #NetGalley

This is a great title for kids who are learning to play the piano. There are forty simple songs here along with many fun facts. Just a few of the pieces include When the Saints Go Marching In, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Amazing Grace, Bingo, and the Birthday Song. Young students will feel a measure of accomplishment at they successfully play these songs.

I found this to be a nice title for its intended audience. I even want to play.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for this title. All opinions are my own.
