You’re welcome Debbie. I am so pleased you like it. Do let us know how you get on.
Thank you so much Lindsay for this lovely review of DoReMi Piano
“This is a good, thorough grounding in basic music skills, that will lend itself both to individual, and to group teaching. I particularly liked the Improvisation section (Unit 2.9) as a simple but really effective introduction to the joys of improvisation and composition in a sociable way, and also Unit 3.2 on using the thinking voice to understand pulse and rhythm.
The way that homework is used is also potentially very effective, and perfect for the young child – getting them to teach new songs to someone at home is inspired!
Music as a social activity really comes through.”
Another great review for DoReMi Piano. This time from one of my Amazon customers. All of my customers can rely on excellent post-purchase support if they have any questions or comments about the book. I also look forward to hearing how they are getting on with their students.
“This book has opened up an entire new world of teaching for me. Superb support and back-up from Helen as well – her service has been 100%.”
Thanks for the great review Rebecca Langley
“I love teaching piano but needed some more ideas to help me really engage my youngest beginners. DoReMi Piano has inspired both my students and me. I didn’t know anything about Kodály beforehand but the teacher guide explains everything extremely clearly and carefully. The activities are great fun and show a sound understanding of young piano students. I would wholeheartedly recommend it!”
