Publisher's Synopsis
When a child begins playing piano, the first few months must be entertaining enough to keep them engaged, but educational enough that they feel they are making progress. There are many piano books for kids available, but a few provide the right mix of familiarity and challenges likely to keep your child's attention. The majority of Amazing Piano Lessons for Kids includes nursery rhymes and children's songs, so finding a book that they can enjoy is easy. However, it is balancing this with less familiar music and new concepts that can prove to be the biggest challenge. Interestingly, taking formal lessons will help your child in many areas of their growth. Most notably are:
- Academic skills: Study practices, focus, mathematics, application of their thinking and practicing, memory
- Physical skills: Coordination and motor skills, (ambi)dexterity (left and right independence)
- Social Skills: Playing with others and in groups requires consideration of the others timing and volume. This develops advanced listening skills.
- Self-Esteem: Self confidence through developing a talent and public performance
