In today’s episode, author and international teacher of piano teachers, Tim Topham shares his approach to music learning in his new book, “No Book Beginners”.
Rather than stifling your piano kid’s enthusiasm for piano by slowing down music-making with foreign terminology and symbols and expecting them to learn to read music before they expore the interesting sounds the piano can create, Tim’s book offers a different approach.
Get your piano kid creating music and exploring sounds right from the first lesson!
