This summer, I finished making a new workbook for young beginners, My First Piano Workbook. I had ages 4-6 in mind while creating this workbook. The pages in this workbook include lots of fun, cute images to capture a child’s eye. 

The lessons in this workbook cover the topics that are introduced during the first year of piano lessons. The pages in the workbook ask students to draw lines and color. There is very little writing since it is geared towards young piano beginners.

Lesson 2: The Musical Alphabet

For this unit, students will learn The Musical Alphabet letters A through G. They will learn to recognize which letters belong in the Musical Alphabet in addition to knowing the correct order of the letters in The Musical Alphabet. I kept this unit simple for young beginners. More in-depth practice with The Musical Alphabet (such as steps and skips) can be done with these Musical Alphabet Worksheets
