SIMPLE AND FUN PIANO BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

Due to the ongoing uncertainty over COVID-19 we will be holding one-day online courses for piano and music teachers on the Dogs and Birds approach. Each course will be given by Elza and Chris Lusher (creators of the method), will be for three to five participants and will be adapted to the attendees’ needs. Please email us at info@dogsandbirds.co.uk to register your interest. We can then plan sessions.

You can teach the piano to children from age 3 onwards using the Dogs and Birds method.

It is not necessary to know the alphabet.

Animals symbolize the notes: Dog for D, Bird for B, and Cat for C etc.

I would, without hesitation, recommend "Dogs and Birds" as a most wonderful introduction for our youngest children in the commencement of their musical journey at the piano. Emily Jeffrey – Royal College of Music, Purcell School, and Royal Holloway University of London
