Maybe you’re a piano teacher already. Maybe you’re a pretty awesome one. But teaching piano to preschoolers is a whole other can of jelly beans. If you try to teach these little ones “traditionally” you’re not going to have any fun, and neither are they.
Preschoolers need to move, sing and explore. They need to PLAY. We know this, but it can be hard to make piano lessons fun while still being purposeful. I’ve been there, I’ve tested every approach, and in this book I’ve broken down the most effective teaching strategies for preschool piano as well as how to structure your lessons for maximum success.
Learn how to take the playful approach to teaching piano to 3–5 year olds and watch your littlest piano students thrive.

Inspired me to start teaching my 5 year old and also open up some preschool group classes!

It has been a while since I taught piano to children. This book gave me so great ideas for approaching music with small children. The whole idea is to "play" while learning. You can find ideas online, but this book provides theory and ideas as well. It is important to use solid pedagogy.

An excellent introduction to teaching piano to preschool-aged children. Definitely worth buying as an ebook.
