incorporating Keyboard Beginnings Music techniques
Keyboard Beginnings is a music course that introduces young children to their first playing experience on the piano and keyboard as a solo and ensemble instrument. Keyboard Beginnings is an all inclusive music course with songs and lyrics that encourage young children to sing and play simultaneously. Children are gently introduced to note and rhythm notation through the repetition of note patterns and simple rhythms in each song. The music books in the young beginners series were created by Judy Kagel of JBK Music Publishing Co. The music books for young children include activity pages for reviewing concepts taught in each song. Through ear training activities, children learn to distinguish different pitches, listen and clap simple rhythm patterns, and play music with an even tempo.
Keyboard Beginnings, now in its 15th year, has been classroom tested in Monmouth and Ocean Counties of New Jersey.
