Playing the Piano, Do Re Mi sets a new standard in exemplary piano lessons. Incorporating the renowned music education philosophies of Zoltán Kodály, this new method teaches music skills in ways people learn most naturally. Students (1) use rhythm syllables (ta, titi, etc.) to fluently read rhythms without hearing them first, (2) learn solfa (do, re, mi) as a foundation for sight reading, theory, transposing, memorizing and composing, (3) focus on steps, skips and target notes in learning to read notes on the staff, rather than learning “Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge”—a distracting extra step in reading music, (4) play folk songs, the most memorable tunes the world has to offer, within a few weeks of beginning the course, (5) explore their voice and sing, and (6) compose their own songs, because learning to write music is as important–and at least as much fun—as learning to read it. It’s a complete music education, a must for every music teacher and every aspiring pianist, young and old!
