A Piano Picture Book Method for Small Children Before Entering School
"Miffy’s Piano Picture Book" was created with the hope that young children who are about to start learning the piano can enjoy lessons filled with fun and curiosity. It is not easy to maintain the sparkle in a child's eyes when they first encounter the piano and play with interest, gradually progressing through learning and expanding their admiration. To help bridge the significant gap between "play" and "learning" for such young children, this text is designed with the following considerations:
- Incorporate familiar sounds from daily life as teaching material- Use close connections between illustrations and music so that children can intuitively grasp the image of the song- Present songs of a length suitable for preschoolers to focus on and feel a sense of achievement- Offer a curriculum that allows for enjoyable and steady progression, making it easy to transition from or combine with existing methods
Through "Miffy’s Piano Picture Book," children can experience the joy of musical expression firsthand and foster a rich personality through music.
This second volume, "Piano and Me," focuses on alternating hands playing, expanding the pitch range from middle C upward and downward, and learning from the G clef’s Sol (the 4th line) to the Treble clef’s La–Si. The primary goal of the first exercise, "Ambulance," is to memorize where La is located. Using the newly learned La and the Fa note, children express the sound of an ambulance siren. By lowering the pitch by semitones while maintaining the relationship between these two notes, children can imagine the ambulance moving away, gradually becoming quieter—this serves as practice for crescendo and diminuendo.
Inserting the first "Cushion Lesson" from Volume 1 between "Ambulance" exercises creates a lively sound at intersections, which children love.
At the end of the volume, each piece’s key points are carefully explained through the relationship between illustrations and music. Additionally, using the craft activities in the separate booklet "Challenge Book" (ISBN: 9784636978582) can make lessons with Miffy even more enjoyable and rewarding.
Furthermore, upon completing this volume, students can confidently progress to methods such as the Bastien, Méthode Rose, or the central development approach (e.g., Grover’s, Organ Piano books).
*Note: This book contains the same content as "Miffy’s Piano Picture Book 2: Piano and Me" (ISBN: 9784636911497).*
