Getting Started with Music For Little Mozarts, Book 2
An Overview For The Parent

In your child's 2nd level of piano, they will continue to explore new musical concepts with the help of Beethoven Bear & Mozart Mouse. But this time, they have friends who join them including J.S. Bunny and Pachelbel Penguin. All these animal friends will introduce your child to note reading and counting. Although playing the piano will continue to be the focus, emphasizing interaction through singing & clapping will still be present in lessons. Most importantly, your presence in their lessons and practising will continue to be vital in their development.

Lesson Time: 1/2 hour per week

Books: To be supplied by the teacher. Parent will reimburse teacher at a later date.

Extras!

  • Practise Chart: This keeps track of practise habits since the student has to check off a spot on the chart after they practise. Students are rewarded with stars for their weekly effort. When they complete this level, they are given a special prize for their hard work!

In The Future...
Your child will move on to Level C of Alfred's Prep Course. That will be a level where your child can begin the process of having lessons without your participation. Also, there will be an emphasis on co-ordination by having them play some pieces hands together.
