Four activities for teaching piano preschoolers about keyboard geography

[@MotifMusicStudios]

Yes! Preschoolers are really such a special little group of learners with such a different approach needed! Great video as always and also fun to see how your channel got started! I love the size of your keyboard builder flashcards! Mine are much smaller, but are one of my absolute favourite resources too!

[@ROCVMusic]

Wow, these are great!! I can't wait to teach my daughter through these methods! Thanks!

OMG, I love your videos so much! You don't know how much are you helping me and my students :)

[@ColourfulKeys]

That's wonderful to hear, thank you!

[@DanielaLopez-xp7pf]

Thank you so much! This is what I was looking for a long time agoo... I really appreciate it, by the way youve got lots of charisma

[@JeremyDuckMusic]

I love these! I’m definitely incorporating these into lessons.

[@juliejensen2159]

Wow, your children must love you! I'd love to learn from you NIcola! I think I'll use these ideas for my 5 and 6 year olds.... I must say I've already been doing something a bit similar with wee animals starting with the letter name like giraffes for the letter G - but this is packed with neat ideas. Thank you!

[@ColourfulKeys]

You’re welcome!

I'm a adult and I've played a long time, I'm introducing my 7 years old nephew into piano, I tried going with a begginer book since he's not that young, but it's hard to keep the focus on the lesson, those ativities will probably help him engage more with the piano, thanks c:

Hi! Great video but I'm wondering about the second activity - "dogs and cats" ? for the 3 and 2 groups of black keys. And why do you use these specific animals if there's a reason? Do you just print them out on cardstock? Thanks!! :)

[@ColourfulKeys]

It's dogs and gates, not cats. We use dog because doggie D lives in the middle, and gates because the G and A are inside the gate. I don't always refer to this, but it's good to have as an extra reference point if needed.
