Mark your calendar—the second edition of WunderKeys Primer Piano Book Three arrives in just ten days!
We’ve nearly doubled the music, redesigned the layout, added page and unit numbers, and fine-tuned the pedagogy to make it our most effective and engaging version yet.
To celebrate, we’ve created a coordinating primer piano ear training game to play while you count down the days.
Your students will make a splash alongside Sheldon and Maxine as they listen for hands-together steps and skips in this playful lakeside adventure.
The Primer Piano Makeovers Are Nearly Complete
You’ll find today’s game at the bottom of this post, but before we get there…
Back in January, we kicked off our primer series makeover with the second edition of Primer Piano Book One. Then, in March, Primer Piano Book Two got its own fresh, updated release.
The response has been incredible…
“The new 2nd edition takes an already fantastic method to the next level! With a fresh layout, additional songs, activity pages, and—yes—page numbers, it’s even more effective and user-friendly.”
“I have happily used WunderKeys with my students for 5 years and am so pleased with the new edition. The Dows have expanded the amount of piano repertoire available in each unit, which is very beneficial for the students who need to spend more time with new skills, and the pre-reading graphic notation has received an update to make it even easier for children to understand! I am so pleased to see that they were able to maintain the playful charm of the original books and the teaching techniques that keep me coming back to WunderKeys!”
When we reimagined these books, we focused on cleaner visuals, stronger pedagogy, and WAY more music—because more music means more practice and better progress. Primer One and Primer Two have already been updated, and teachers are loving the results: more motivated students, better retention, and lessons that feel fresh.

How To Play Step Skip Splash
In this one-player primer piano ear training game, students join Sheldon and Maxine in a playful lakeside adventure that builds aural awareness. As the teacher plays musical excerpts, students listen carefully to identify whether they hear hands-together stepping or skipping.
Each correct answer earns them the chance to place coins and move closer to a big win. With every turn, there’s a little suspense, a little strategy, and a whole lot of fun as they race to cover all the target spaces before time runs out.
This fun and focused activity is designed to reinforce one of the key skills in WunderKeys Primer Piano Book Three, making it a perfect primer piano ear training game to pair with your early-year lessons.
