Give your child a gift of music!,
By A Customer
This review is from: At the Beginning: Teaching Piano to the Very Young Child (Spiral-bound)
This book has got a great technic to teach young children the art of playing piano/keyboard! It has a wonderful approach, including fun games, that will hold your child's attention while they learn! I am a homeschooling parent, so I am a teacher of all subjects and really enjoy when a book makes my job, as a teacher, easier. Most music teachers aren't willing to teach young children, so this book is a wonderful resource for parents who wish to introduce their young child to the fantastic world of music. This book will not disappoint!

Most Practical book I have Ever Read!,
By Vatousios (Lynn, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At the Beginning: Teaching Piano to the Very Young Child (Spiral-bound)
Real information and games you can use to teach the child the most important aspects of music training and appreciation. Not only useful for the piano teacher but also for the general music teacher. Concepts of rhythmic awareness, high-low, loud-soft, notation, ear-training, techinque, etc. are being fostered through games and language that any child from 3-8 can understand. Thank you Rhoda Rabin!!!

Probably great for music teachers--not so useful for parents,
By Dreamdog (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At the Beginning: Teaching Piano to the Very Young Child (Spiral-bound)
I disagree with the reviewer who found this book useful for teaching her child herself. I read it, and found only two chapters that were useful for the teacher working with just one student. The rest of the book dealt with organizing and running lessons for many children, screening potential students and their families, and organizing "piano parties" (a more student-friendly form of recital). This homeschooling parent didn't find enough useful information to convince me to buy the book.
