Children's Songs for the Later Beginning Piano Player

Having been created for the later beginner, this book assumes you have at least the most basic understanding of where the notes are on the keyboard. If, however, you need diagrams, there are several in pdf form available for download on the Robert Anthony Publishing website. There are two arrangements of each song. The first has the letter names embedded into the note heads and includes every finger number, except for repeated notes. The bold-black numbers are the initial and position-change finger numbers in the piece - or what you might expect to see in much piano music, while the grayscale numbers are the fingerings within the positions established by the bold-black numbers. The second version does not have the letter names embedded into the note head, and has only the bold-black initial and position-change fingerings. The goal of the student is to use the first versions as needed, and shift entirely to the second versions as soon as they are able. Since ability levels vary so greatly, that switch is likely to happen differently for each individual. Finally, this book is designed to accommodate a variety of learning styles. There are a preview and instructions in pdf form that can be downloaded from Robert Anthony Publishing, as well as a video link for the corresponding audio. Instructional videos will be posted on the site as they are created. If there is something you would like to see covered in a video, please use the email link on the website to get in touch with me.
