A few months ago I splurged on the whole "Music for Little Mozarts" package. This comes with a music lesson book, a workbook (coloring, drawing, etc.), a CD, flashcards, another "music discovery" book with another CD (these are pretty worthless as far as I can tell), two stuffed animals ("Mozart Mouse" and "Beethoven Bear," who feature in all the materials), and a magnetic/dry-erase musical notation board with magnetic notes. I also got the teacher's guide, but I don't think this helps much, unless you're a music teacher perhaps.

By the way, we tried another music package--it wasn't very good. This, by contrast, is professional and well-thought-out in practically every way.

This is a very basic, from-absolute-ground-zero package. I appreciate the very gradual pace, which begins with low and high sounds, then talks about loud and soft, then the groups of two and three black keys. Then you start playing two black keys together, then three, then you start going up and down the black keys... Anyway, it's very gradual.

The CD recording of the main lesson book helps a lot. It basically contains the entire text and tunes from the lesson book, and is written in a sort of "story" form--my little boy (almost 4 now) bought it anyway. We've listened to the CD many times (all at the kid's request), so now the tunes (if you want to call them that--they are as basic as you can imagine) are totally ingrained. So he really got into it. He sleeps with Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear (you might not think the stuffed animals are necessary, but they really help).

As to lessons, well, I take this approach: if he says "no," then we absolutely don't do it, and probably not the next day either. If we take breaks of a week or even a couple weeks, that's absolutely OK.

I am a mom that sings, but not a pianist. The price of piano lessons prevent us from having our kids take lessons at young ages. I looked at one of the lessons from a local studio and they said they use this series, so I ordered it.

I know how to play a little, and this book/cd/notecards, etc... is absolutely perfect for us. My 4-year-old son is learning at an amazing speed and he loves it. The cd that comes with it helped with the excitement. The dry-erase board that you can learn the letters of the keyboard with is wonderful because you can erase and don't have to use papers over and over. Plus, the little magnets that come with it are a great tool in getting them to understand that they can compose their own little measure or two, then I can play it for them.

I'm a huge fan and will be using this for my 2-year-old when she's old enough too, and I'll be ordering the next levels soon.

And we're saving TONS of money. I figure that once they are old enough out of these books, and are still interested and beyond my capabilities of teaching, we'll pay the high price of lessons.

In Alfred's Music for Little Mozarts, students follow their friends, Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear, in exploring musical sounds and concepts as they learn to play the piano. The Discovery Book contains songs for singing and movement using solfege syllables. The workbook has written exercises, like naming the notes on the keyboard, and the lesson book has the songs students actually learn to play. The Discovery book and lesson book both come with a CD recording. The songs are short, fun and easy to learn. The flash cards include quarter, half, and whole notes and rests, notes A-G on the keyboard, notes moving up and down, and the repeat sign. The Deluxe Kit also comes with a dry erase board and marker for practice writing music notes.

The major weakness of this course is that after learning the 2 black keys and 3 black keys as geographical references, note reading and playing are limited to the key of C. In my opinion, the best beginning keyboard methods introduce patterns and teach students to play them in different keys, rather than focusing on a single key. I also regret that composition is not emphasized more in this course. Students this age should be creating their own melodies based on simple rhythms and tonal patterns and harmonizing them with 2-note chords. So I find as a teacher that I have to supplement Little Mozarts with other materials.

All this being said, however, of all the beginning keyboard methods, Little Mozarts is by far my favorite for early childhood. Students love the stickers and coloring books with all the Little Mozarts characters, including Mozart Mouse, Beethoven Bear, Clara Schumann Cat, Pachabel Penguin, J.S. Bunny, and Elgar E. Elephant, which students meet in the advanced levels of the course. The Deluxe Starter Kit is a bit pricey but a worthwhile investment and a better value than purchasing the items separately. I highly recommend this course for young beginners.

I am a musician and was so happy to find this kit! Great for parents wanting to expose their child to music early in life. Great for homeschoolers and teachers. One CD reads the 'lesson/story' book to the child to reinforce material. We use that in the car to reinforce the material. The second CD has little songs that each teach something different in a fun way! The Discovery Book integrates with the music CD and asks the children to do an activity that coincides with what they are hearing on the CD. The Lesson Book discusses basic theory using the stuffed animals Mozart Mouse (High tones) and Beethoven Bear (low tones). The books use the stuffed animals to do activities to help remember concepts. For example, 'place Mozart Mouse on the side of the keyboard that makes HIGH sounds".The Recital book is self explanatory. I think it is very thorough, age appropriate and creative. Many people will not start a child out this early. However, this kit allows the child to learn basics in a fun way AND set a passion for music and creativity in their little brains! My 4 y old daughter loves this kit. She is starting to tap out rhythms and has improved her listening skills in musically and in general. It is well documented that introducing children to music at a young age develops superior listening skills, enhances abstract reasoning skills needed for science and math and it teaches them how music can be used to effect their emotions.
