Description

As a pianist, I often find musical piano books to be disappointing. This book, however, fixes every problem I've had with those other books. Turn this book sideways and you'll find a two-octave keyboard that has functioning black keys, the ability to play chords, and is actually designed to be played with both hands, just like the real thing! Each note has a different color, and different octaves have different symbols for easy identification. While the "sheet music" isn't arranged on an actual staff (my only complaint), notes are arranged as if they were on staffs to convey pitch and distance between notes. Before you know it, your little musicians will be playing Blue Danube Waltz, the theme from Swan Lake, London Bridge, and 7 other included songs. Includes an off switch and the ability to replace batteries. - Laura
