Piano Course: Lessons. Primer

The Michael Aaron Piano Course Lesson books have been completely re-engraved, expanded (adding more definitions of musical terms and more musical pieces), updated (with modernized artwork), and re-edited (with less emphasis on fingerings and more on note-reading).

The Michael Aaron Piano Primer was written especially for young children. Many years of specialization in the teaching of children have made the author keenly aware of three essentials in a teacher's approach. They are understanding, sympathy and encouragement. These thoughts have guided and influenced the author in his general plan and selection of material for this book.
This book features
Storybook introduction to the first rudiments of music.
Development of rhythm through the clapping and counting of 'rhythm patterns.'
Smooth step-by-step progression from Middle C illustrated by the use of many clear and simple charts.
