Step by Step Piano Course

As the title states, the Step By Step Piano Course, Spanish edition, introduces the piano by presenting new concepts gradually and ever so clearly, one step at a time. Book One takes several pages to present the group of 2 black keys and middle C on the keyboard and on the grand staff. The student reads from the grand staff immediately, playing lovely four-measure tunes in middle C position. Only middle C, D and B are played for several pages, one note at a time, and gradually the other notes of middle C position are introduced as well as a few harmony notes in the alternate hand. Middle C position is the only position offered in Book One. Fun, clearly presented, and child-oriented theory pages are interspersed to support and reinforce new concepts. All the tunes offered are originals by Ms. Burnam. Sweet, innocent drawings are found throughout the series.
