Maybe you’re a piano teacher already. Maybe you’re a pretty awesome one. But teaching piano to preschoolers is a whole other can of jelly beans. If you try to teach these little ones “traditionally” you’re not going to have any fun, and neither are they. Preschoolers need to move, sing and explore. They need to PLAY. We know this, but it can be hard to make piano lessons fun while still being purposeful. I’ve been there, I’ve tested every approach and in this book, I’ve broken down the most effective teaching strategies for preschool piano as well as how to structure your lessons for maximum success. Learn how to take the playful approach to teaching piano to 3-5 year olds and watch your littlest piano students thrive.

Music practice arguments in families are seemingly so ubiquitous that it''s become a trope used in sitcoms. But it doesn''t have to be this way. Your child can have a wonderful experience with music and you can enjoy watching their progress without it becoming a battlefield.  In Practice Pie, I''ll teach you how to support your child in their musical journey. I can''t promise it will be as easy as pie (but then, is pie really easy?) but I can promise to make it quick and practical, with a little humour thrown in for good measure. You signed your child up for lessons because you wanted them to enjoy and appreciate music. You deserve a taste of that fun, too. Let''s get baking so we can take a bite of some delicious music practice pie!What Teachers Are Saying..."Learning to play an instrument takes practice and learning to practice takes practice. Nicola Cantan''s ''Practice Pie'' is the perfect recipe for showing parents how to create tasty practice sessions at home with their children."Shelly DavisPiano Parent Podcast, pianoparentpodcast.com
