Sing! Play! Listen & Learn! Beginning Piano is  an innovative new piano method on DVD video that teaches traditional music notation reading in a non-traditional way.  Rather than teach silly rhymes to learn to read music, Sing! Play! Listen & Learn! uses the mathematical system that is built into music notation.  Each musical concept is taught with activities, clear explanations, and demonstations on the DVDs.  As these concepts are learned, new concepts are added, one by one, to build a thorough understanding of music and music reading.

Each lesson includes:
Rhythm activities to develp a strong sense of rhythm.
Pitch matching singing activities to develp the ability to sing on pitch.
Clear explanations of the music notation system in an easy to follow, incremental method.
65 short pieces are included in the book and taught on the 6 DVD videos.
