Written in a form of a chapter book, “Tales of a Musical Journey” uses fairy tale
setting and characters to introduce and expand musical concepts. Through the series,
the young minds are set on a journey through fictitious musical land, where they
become friends with the inhibitors of the land. Entertaining and logically interconnected
stories develop a young student’s understanding and appreciation of music and piano
playing. Comprehensive analogies with the Fairy Tale characters and their adventures
make complicated techniques easy and fun. Ear training exercises and theory activities
further train and develop young musical ears. A CD with musical examples is included
to accompany the student through his practice at home and lessons.
The series is primarily targeted towards 3-5 year beginning piano students. However,
older beginners may benefit from it as well. Books 1 and 2 cover the span of the
first year of study and will sufficiently prepare the students for classical repertoire.
This series should not be used for self-taught purposes. The success may only be
achieved under a guidance of a trained instructor and a watchful eye of an involved
parent.
