Piano for Beginners - Learn to Play Christmas Carols: The Ultimate Beginner Piano Songbook for Kids with Lessons on Reading Notes and 32 Beloved Songs (My First Piano Sheet Music Books)

For all those who wish to learn to play the piano, this fun book introduces concepts that should engage children’s (and intrigued adults) attention and imagination and desire to ‘make their own kind of music.’ As the Introduction states, ‘All you need in addition to this book is a piano or keyboard and some time to practice. Remember – practice makes perfect, and the wide range of songs in this collection will make practicing a true pleasure.’ With excellent graphics the images of keyboard notes are paired with the letters of the notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C) and the way those notes appear on music scale paper. The aspects of the keyboard are explained, instructing the student to put the finger on the C note – middle C to begin. Notes on recognizing the treble clef sign, the differences between whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and how to place the fingers on the keys – all well illustrated – lead to the pages of songs based on well known Christmas carols.Excellent illustrations, including art to accompany the themes of the various songs, make this little book not only instructive, but also entertaining on several levels. Recommended for curious musical minds.

With lessons on note reading and more than 30 holiday and seasonally themed songs, Piano for Beginners - Learn to Play Christmas Carols by Made Easy Press is a great piano songbook for kids. You will be prepared for musical Christmas celebrations in no time thanks to this book, which is divided into three difficulty levels and begins with a lesson on the fundamentals of reading music notation.It can be difficult to learn from a book, but sometimes using audio and visual aids can be beneficial. That’s why the publishers of this beginner piano book included a special feature. There is a QR code next to the title of each piece of music. To hear exactly how the music should sound and to see exactly how to play each note, all you have to do is scan the QR code to access a video of that song being played on the piano. Speeding up or slowing down the video can help you learn the song at your own pace.This has got to be among the best resources for learning the piano that I've ever read. Despite the fact that I have long been self-taught, after reading this book I realized how much simpler it would have been for me to learn. I can’t wait to teach my grandchildren how to play and this is going to be the book I use to do it! Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.
