The P Plate Piano launches began on Sunday with an event at Coffs Harbour (for those unfamiliar with Australian geography, a seaside town roughly halfway up the coast between Sydney and Brisbane) with a small number of piano teachers in attendance. Notice had been short and, in any case, there are not a large number of piano teachers in smaller centres like Coffs Harbour (population, an estimated 66,000).

Astonishingly, no two teachers used the same method. Maybe less surprising was the consensus that none of the methods already tried by the teachers had been quite right, and whichever method they were using was in some number of ways a compromise.

First and foremost I look for experiences that do not centre on middle C. I also look for opportunities for students to learn in ways other than simply by reading from the page. And I need the pieces, no matter how teensy-tiny they might be, to sound sophisticated and contemporary (in the sense of not sounding arcane) in their harmonic language and rhythmic realisation.

Next up, I look for a method that uses pattern recognition rather than label recognition in teaching reading. And ideally, I would be looking for a method that is well-pitched for the age group and maturity level of each beginner starting with me.

What about you? What attributes do you look for when choosing a method book to work through with your students? And what aspects would be most off-putting, and prevent you from using a particular method book? Do you look for plenty of additional repertoire? Is the range of written activities important for you? From the mundane to the momentous, what would you most like to see in a method book, that maybe you are not finding already?

I like the Progressive Piano book [with all the colour pictures and the elephant that looks like a pig] for a really easy beginning for younger children, but it is not helpful when the left hand part starts on the c below middle c with the fifth finger.

My 3.5 yo is dying to learn piano. She "practices" constantly. Dd11 taught her a simple song, which she now practices over and over again. In every octave. (Dh has banned that song while he's home. :tongue_smilie:)

So I'm looking for a piano book that contains some simple songs I could teach to her (she's not reading yet, so they have to be songs she can memorize). It would just be fun for her to have "real" songs to play, so we can all enjoy her time on the piano a little more. Any suggestions?

My son started at around that age - because he is very musical and we were trying to find a means to make him focus and sit still and concentrate on a task for a period of time. We found a lovely teacher who has run group piano lessons for the age group 3-5 for 35 years (where I live, piano group classes for 3.5 year olds are popular and used as a way to introduce and prepare a child for private lessons). She does not do Suzuki, but uses a curriculum that she designed - She used to mix in notes reading (her own funny way of remembering notes - a cat sitting on a bench for a "C" note, a dog waiting at the doorstep for the location of a D note etc), ear training, song and dance activities as a group, ensemble playing as a group and then learn to play 2 simple pieces on the piano each week.

I think that these books are an excellent start for the very young who are interested in piano and they teach in baby steps which is what you want. Some of the songs in these books use only 2 (middle c and d) or 3 (c,d and e) notes and are only 8 measures long in the beginning, so it was fun and easy. We progressed to Faber's Piano Adventures after a while, but my son enjoyed the above books a lot when he was 3-4 years old.

The song dd11 taught her is "D is the dog with the two black ears". Those are the words for the entire song. It has several D's and then a chord with the two black keys on either side. Not very musical, but she knows which note is D and it makes her happy. :). The "chord" in particular grates on dh, which is why he's banned it. More songs like that would be perfect for her.

We love Music for Little Mozarts and began it around that age. It goes very slow, and is easy to teach a 4-6 minute "lesson" each day. We had fun listening to the CD (which is sold separately) but never used the "Activity Book" at all. All we use now is the lesson book. Good luck!

You might want to take a look at the Suzuki method for piano. They're very effective for young children starting at 3 or 4. The process begins with developing the listening ability and playing CDs with songs they will be learning then reading comes later. The kids progress fairly quickly because they are already familiar with the songs. But they really encourage strong foundation from a good teacher, with a lot of early emphasis on proper tone, posture, and other technique.

In a former, pre-homeschooling life, I was a piano teacher. My feeling on the matter was that the motivation of the child, which your DD sounds like she has in spades, is the single-most important ingredient for success, followed by the willingness of the parent to sit by them and help with practicing (had one family that did that until the kids were 8ish, and it made *such* a difference). I took a barely 4yo who was quite motivated, and he did very well in the Piano Adventures books that were what I preferred. It is my feeling that any child who knows the letters A-G, and can count to 5 (real counting, not just listing), can start to learn the piano, if you have a teacher who is a good match. If I were to teach a child like yours, I'd talk to the child and tell her what I expect, as well as the parents, and then start with a trial period of 15 minute lessons, planning to move to 30 minutes as the attention span matured. As long as she's happy in practice and in the lessons, I'd say strike while the iron is hot!

Perhaps the greatest challenge would be to find a teacher that matches you & your daughter locally, who will take them that young. Have conversations with your perspective teacher. Listen to her play; she can only teach what she knows. Look at the local teacher's association if you want, but also look at independent teachers, folks at church who play, and even high school students. (PM me for specific advice if you go with a young, inexperienced, [inexpensive] teacher. My 1st teacher was in HS, and she did a lot of good for my sister and I - and she made some mistakes.) For that matter, if you had lessons and remember the basics, you could probably giver her a start. Piano Adventures is very easy to use. Don't skip the theory book.
