GUIDING THE WISH TO PLAY THE PIANO INTO ACTUALITY
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY THE PIANO
A problem that piano teacher and pupil have always had is the question: where do we begin? This easy piano series from Carousel Publications, dear teacher, i've always wanted to play the piano, eases the answering of this question by allowing them to agree on what this all-important first step will be, as there are separate beginning books for folk tunes, popular songs, classical themes, old time favorites and Christmas songs.

Also the series brings the image of the note on the keyboard and the note on the staff as closely together as possible, so that the teacher and the pupil are enabled to treat the two as almost identical - instead of feeling them as two separate matters which need somehow to be grappled together again in the worst way. Piano chords are also pictured.

The result is that playing piano becomes something anyone can be encouraged to try - even if he thinks he can't. His initial insecurity may be as great as that suggested by the small letters in the title of the series. All he needs is a wish to play the piano.

As all teachers know, the result of playing a desired and recognizable song or tune is the greatest possible incentive for both young students and adult beginners to want their teachers to guide their further musical experience. And if the result is recognizable, many problems such as pitch and rhythm will take care of themselves in a musical way during these crucial early stages of piano study.In short, these books make piano lessons fun.
