About This Book

One of the biggest mistakes when someone starts learning to play the piano is playing songs with their index finger instead of using all fingers and both hands. Most piano sheet music for kids has notes for practicing with the right hand only, which encourages the 'plinky-plonk' playing that children should avoid. In this book, however, all songs have treble and bass clef notes for practicing with both hands! So, suppose you are looking for a diverse collection of 55 large print piano songs for

Our Review

This innovative piano instruction book tackles one of the most common hurdles for young musicians: the dreaded "plinky-plonk" playing with a single finger. Author Aria Altmann provides a diverse collection of 55 large-print songs, but the real game-changer is that every piece includes both treble and bass clef notes, requiring students to use both hands from the very beginning. This approach fundamentally rewires the learning process, moving children beyond simple melody picking and into true piano technique. The large print format makes reading music accessible, while the dual-hand requirement builds proper muscle memory and coordination.

What sets this method apart is its commitment to developing authentic piano skills rather than allowing temporary shortcuts that become hard-to-break habits. Young pianists will appreciate the immediate satisfaction of creating fuller, richer sounds, while parents and teachers will value the solid technical foundation being established. This resource is particularly valuable for beginners who are ready to progress beyond basic tunes and for any student needing to correct one-handed playing patterns. The result is a more confident, capable musician who understands the instrument as a whole from the outset.
