Follow Coda as she experiences her first snowy adventure! Each of the four illustrated chapters leads into an original piano piece created for young beginners.
Students experience the music through story, imagination, movement, and listening before playing.
A special focus of this book is helping students feel the rhythm before they play it. The “Let’s Get Ready to Play” pages use Dalcroze inspired activities, including chanting, movement, and whole body rhythm experiences, to prepare students for each piece at the piano.
Each piece can be taught by rote and includes a teacher duet that makes the simple student part sound full and exciting. Pre-reader pages are also included for students who are ready to explore musical patterns on the page.
