Overview

Awesome Piano for Kids is the new easy, fun, way for your child to learn piano!Kids have no problem saying, Yes! to learning an instrument. But, often, the hard work of developing initial skills makes them want to quit before they have even really begun. Getting your child over that initial beginner's hump of musicianship doesn't have to be a daily battle of wills punctuated with disappointing weekly lessons.Written by Chris Kjorness, a professional musician, music teacher, and father of two (rowdy) boys, Awesome Piano guides parents and kids through beginning piano with a method that keeps kids interested and parents sane. The book has silly games for kids and helpful notes for parents so that real progress can be made with only four 15-minute practice sessions a week!Readers also have access to online resources like printable worksheets, video lessons, audio play-a-longs and parent's forum at www.awesomepianoforkids.com. Chris Kjorness is a jazz musician with a Masters in Music from the prestigious New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts and over 15 years experience teaching music to students of all ages. But it wasn't until he started to teach his two sons, aged 6 and 7, guitar and piano that he realized where weekly music lessons for beginners go wrong. I realized that beginners have much more success with very short daily lessons than with longer weekly ones. In fact, unless the parents are very involved, weekly lessons have almost no impact. That's when I decided to design a method that skips the weekly lessons altogether and gives parents the tools needed to act as guides while their kids learn the fundamental skills of musicianship- and have fun while they're doing it! After going through the Awesome Piano method learners will be able to: Confidently play the piano, with a full sound and a beautiful piano touch.Read melodies and rhythmic notation on sheet music, andPlay dozens of tunes-and even compose some of their own!Want to play piano? Awesome! Let's go!
