Piano
Course for Christians I'm
delighted to offer Madonna Wood's wonderful course on
learning to play piano with a Christian emphasis. This
course teaches students how to read music on the piano.
Teaching
God's Love Through Music Lessons.
Written
by Madonna Woods - Complete course in six levels: Preparatory
Level, Level 1 through Level 5. Includes six books and
eight audio CDs. The degree of difficulty of each level
corresponds to the same level in other recognized piano
courses. Accordingly, students who have completed, for
example, Level 1 of a another publisher's recognized piano
course, may easily transition to Level 2 of the Piano
Course for Christians.
Written
for the Christian student. The music, text and illustrations
reinforce Christian values.
Homeschoolers
are finding it tailored to their unique needs and can
be used over and over by all family members. Each level
has complete and clear explanations of music concepts
with Lesson Plans and advice on music and Christian instructions
so that parents can tutor their children. Prior knowledge
of music is not necessary.
CDs
accompany each level to provide further explanations and
demonstrate each lesson and song. This is particularly
helpful when you do not have a music teacher.
A
very affordable and enjoyable way to learn the piano.

Preparatory Level
This
course starts by explaining the keyboard and how notes
are named. It explains the musical staff and how to
read notes and then teaches counting and rhythm in simple
time signatures.
It
covers other basic beginning techniques with both hands
staying in 5 finger hand position in middle C. The songs
used are familiar hymns or songs with themes of a Christian
nature.
The
64 page book can be used as the main course by any teacher
to build an excellent foundation in music. Yet it has
thorough enough explanations of music basics to be used
by parents who are home schooling their children.
This
course includes a Lesson Plan as a suggested guide to
help tutor the student and notes to parents on how to
monitor lessons, encourage practice and assess progress.
This course can also be used with an electronic keyboard.
The
two CDs, recorded by Madonna Woods, gives further explanations
and clearly demonstrates how each lesson should sound.
Invaluable help and advice if you don’t have a
teacher!
This
course builds on the prior level and contains full explanations
of the music fundamentals necessary for mastery of the
piano or keyboard. It teaches more notes, rests, how they
are counted and takes note reading over more of the staff.
It
introduces sharps and flats, half and whole steps, ties,
phrases and slurs and more musical expression. It introduces
the basic chords of primary key signatures, finger techniques
and begins moving hands a little more over the keyboard.
All
music and text help reinforce Christian values. Many familiar
songs and hymns are in this book such as Savior Like a
Shepherd, Sun of My Soul, All Through the Night, Standing
in the Need of Prayer and many more.
The
two CDs, recorded by Madonna Woods, explains music fundamentals
in greater depth and demonstrates how the music should
sound and be practiced.
