Praise For WunderKeys Primer Piano Book One

“I’ve been teaching piano for 20 years and this is my favourite method book so far. Kids of all ages like the comics and the concepts are introduced really sequentially, especially with the “practice on the pathway” sections. They build beautifully on each other. The games are simple and easy to incorporate into lessons. Students report challenging their parents to the games at home - what a great bonus to get parents extra involved too! I find students learn quickly, progress quickly, and are therefore motivated to keep practicing!”

“My current 6-year-old student just finished this primer 1 book, following the preschool program, and I have to say that I am impressed with her confidence in note reading! Her older sister, by two years, was using a different series, and still struggles a bit with her notes. I am convinced that it is the pace and way that the notes are introduced that has helped her achieve the success that has alluded her sig sister.”

I taught my very first WunderKeys Primer lessons this week. They were the best 1st lessons I have ever taught, in 9.5 years of teaching!! That is saying a lot! I absolutely loved how streamlined everything was, each activity led to the next seamlessly. Also, it was the perfect amount to learn. My new students loved it, all their first lesson anxieties were blown away and we had such a great time together. Thank you so much, Andrea, for creating such a great program.
