Me and My Piano Animal Magic cover

This engaging book offers daily exercises for young pianists, creatively linking technical skills to the characteristics of animals. Me and My Piano Animal Magic makes practice enjoyable.

In Me and My Piano Animal Magic, young pianists are introduced to essential daily exercises that draw from the classic studies of renowned composers like Czerny, Hanon, Philipp, and Doynanyi. This innovative approach ties technical skills to the characteristics of various animals, birds, and insects, making practice more relatable and engaging for children. By connecting music with the natural world, the exercises encourage creativity and imagination in young learners.

The book transforms the often monotonous practice routine into lively sessions filled with excitement and discovery. Each exercise not only develops technical proficiency but also sparks curiosity about the animal kingdom, fostering a deeper connection to both music and nature. The playful themes help to maintain the interest of young pianists, making practice feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

Originally published as a stand-alone volume, Me and My Piano Animal Magic has now been integrated into the broader Me and My Piano Series, part of The Waterman/Harewood Series, which is celebrated for its effective teaching methods. This book is an excellent resource for parents and teachers looking to inspire the next generation of musicians while providing them with a solid foundation in piano technique.
