Meridee Winters Super Start! My First Piano Patterns : Level P (Prep) Ages 5 and Up

Early childhood is a “magic window” for learning – and young kids shouldn’t wait to learn music. “Super Start! My First Piano Patterns” teaches young beginners in the way their brains learn best – through patterns and play.

Welcome to the Super Start Solar System – specifically, Planet Plunk – a fun place to begin your exploration of the Meridee Winters Universe! This book contains 36 piano songs, games and activities that will guarantee a fun and successful start to piano lessons. Aided by simple diagrams and playful characters, Meridee's trailblazing "play by pattern and shape" approach has students sounding great from their very first lesson – without needing to read music.

Super Start! My First Piano Patterns takes students on a fun tour through Planet Plunk, where they learn new skills and songs in each chapter. Each exercise is explained in a visual, step-by-step way to allow for frustration-free playing. Songs gradually increase in skill throughout the book, culminating in a final chapter of youngster-friendly waltzes and classically-inspired pattern songs. Once they complete their final concert, students are ready to space-surf to Meridee's "Chord Quest Powerful Piano Lessons" series where they'll learn chords, arpeggios and much, much more!
