"Piano-K' offers self-teaching fun for kids

Piano-K is spreading the joy of music to thousands of children in extra-curricular activities, music centers, summer camps, special needs education offices, and many homes with preschool and kindergarten children.

Play the Self-Teaching Piano Game for Kids by Victoria Mandly is a groundbreaking, user-friendly game-book series which do not require any previous music skills for either parents or children, thanks to the colorful animal stickers that allow players to associate the notes on the keyboard with their place and names in the score without realizing that they are learning to read music: Ant, Bird, Cat, Dog, Frog, Elephant and Giraffe.

Over-sized (11 x 17 inches) pages help kids to follow the game effortlessly and from the very first moment they are able to play songs which they can recognize and sing along. Level 1 uses a set of stickers (seven notes) so the child gets a basic overview of the keyboard, sound and notes. In Level 2 another set of stickers broadens the keyboard area played. Level 3 adds a third set of stickers and several sounds are played at the same time with both hands.

The all time favorites to play and sing include 36 titles, such as Mary Had a Little Lamb, This Old Man, Pop! Goes the Weasel, Ode to Joy and many others.

Play the Self-Teaching Piano Game for Kids is available at School Specialty catalogs (Special Needs) and at www.amazon.com .
