MY NEWLY REVISED 🎹PIANO BASICS EBOOK:
Start Piano: What You Need For Successful Learning!

From the Author, Jenny Leigh Hodgins:
Throughout my 30-year music and piano teaching career, I’ve been repeatedly asked the same questions by those interested in playing piano. Beginner to intermediate piano students asked these same questions again and again.
In my experience with teaching one-to-one lessons, in small groups, and in-classroom school music classes, all my students and their parents or guardians had the same need for answers to these questions about successful piano learning. I’ve combined their biggest concerns and most recurring inquiries in this book.
As a pianist and composer of piano-based music, I know well the rich benefits and joy of piano playing. The issues piano learners face and their desire to get started, return to, or keep pressing on to reap the rewards of piano progress are what motivates me to provide this book. The purpose of this book is to help piano learners keep breaking through to new levels of piano performance.

"Great Resource For Potential Piano Parents"
"I love the clear, open, optimistic way this is all written. Thank you for such a large section devoted to choosing the right teacher. This is so crucial and something that people struggle with, especially when they're new to the world of private lessons.
Also a big yay to the section about choosing an instrument. It's a question I get a lot and I'm not even a pianist! The straightforward listing of options was good, but even better was the advice to sit down and play them or have the teacher play them, and to ignore the brand if something felt really good. Also a big yes to the section on intentional practice and motivation. That's such a thing for everyone but especially for parents to keep in mind. I would be the sort of adult learner with a lot of unrelated musical experience you mention in one section. To me, this book is very clear and gives me some starting ideas. Genuinely, this is a good resource, and a reassuring one to someone coming at the piano with some trepidation, intimidation, or wondering, 'Am I too old to start?'" --Tracie Callahan, COMPOSER, MUSIC EDUCATOR |
