Dogs and Birds - Book 2 (Animal Notes Edition)

Write A Review

1. To fall in love with!

   I've been teaching piano for 20 years and use various books - Oxford, Chester, etc. Recently tried Dogs & Birds with a few pupils aged 5-6 and they really fall in love with the characters, stories and pictures. I was a bit skeptical at first with the animal notes as felt perhaps that would prevent pupils from learning to read music properly, but experience so far is that they breeze through the blank notes edition afterwards so it must be working. I really like giving each note an animal name and character, good for listening skills & general musicality. Thanks for a lovely series of books! Ben on 29th Jul 2020

2. Looks great

   Same methodology with more advanced technique and skill building. I like that it still have the pictures for this book as it means they don't have to learn too much at once. The pictures can be taken away later. sue ross on 2nd Oct 2016

3. Dogs and Birds is very popular with my young students

   I am using Dogs and Birds with 3 pupils at the moment. they LOVED book 1 and book 2 seems to be going down equally well. I think the coloured illustrations are a huge improvement to the look of the books and are a great way to introduce young children to the piano. Janet L on 5th Feb 2015

4. good follow up from bk 1.

   I ve found the bk 2 as stimulating as bk 1. The variety in the programme makes the lesson pass very fast Unknown on 12th Jan 2015
