Musical Journeys: Introduction to Piano Online Class for Young Children

Well, it’s been thirty years in the making but my sister’s piano teaching method books, Keiko and Sam’s Musical Journeys, are finally ready. I did the illustrations thirty years ago as well. In fact, it’s so long ago that I barely recognized some of the drawings.

Noreen’s wrote Keiko and Sam’s Musical Journeys when the three-year-old younger siblings of her students wanted to start piano lessons. Unable to find any teaching material that could hold the attention of a three-year-old, Noreen created her own method book. Her expertise and success in teaching children piano from age 3 filled an unexpected niche and started her Two-Year Waitlist, the title of Noreen’s book for entrepreneurial piano teachers.

My sister has actually spent the last thirty years improving every aspect of Musical Journeys, a piano teaching method book series meant to help children as young as three years old learn to play the piano.

Piano Wants To Play by Colleen Kong-Savage

Piano loved it when Amy Lu learned to play. She was a quick study, and, over the years, they made beautiful music together. But, as she grew older, she had no time for Piano. But her little brother Rupert had time. Unfortunately, Rubert and Piano did not hit it off. Rupert banged on the keys. They did not make beautiful music together. When Rupert quit piano, suddenly no one was playing Piano. It was a sad time. Then, Piano found itself being moved. Where would Piano end up? Amy Lu and Piano are reunited in her classroom, making beautiful music again together! [picture book, ages 4 and up]
