Watch Me Play Piano is a "programmed" method with an emphasis on positive reinforcement and an enjoyable learning environment.
Programmed learning simply means that subjects introduced on one page are immediately reviewed on the next page to facilitate comprehension and retention. There are also midway and final reviews to aid in long term retention. Our emphasis on positive reinforcement is drawn from modern behavioral science which proves conclusively that children tend to excel at those things for which they receive continued praise, encouragement and enjoyment. As the title suggests, our philosophy naturally extends to the performance aspect of learning to play an instrument. Children love to be the center of attention, and being powerfully and appropriately reinforced for performing can be wonderfully rewarding which can also extend to other areas of their personal development as well.
Watch Me Play Piano incorporates familiar activities into a new learning environment.
Watch Me Play Piano incorporates enjoyable activities and exercises which are familiar to children such as hidden pictures, coloring, connect the dots, matching pictures with words and fill in the blanks. The result is a unique approach to learning music which is fun and rewarding for both the student and the teacher, whether the teacher is a music professional or just a mom or dad who wants to spend some quality time with their kids.
Recommended ages: 4-8.
