Start them early. Start them right.

Bastiens’ Invitation to Music

Ages 4 & Up

Sensitive and inspired teaching of early childhood students is a

satisfying and joyful experience for both parents and teachers.
Ensure the success of your youngest students with the Bastiens’
Invitation to Music series – a fun and exciting introduction to
the world of music.

Piano Party, Theory & Ear Training Party, and Performance

Party provide the perfect start for early beginners. Ideal for individual
or group instruction, the series is paced appropriately for
young children and assumes no reading or
writing readiness. Color-coded left
and right hand parts make reading
easy and fun. Delightful music,
colorful illustrations, and captivating
activities will enhance the learning
experience and greatly motivate your
early beginners.

A great way to give young beginners the extra attention they need.

Piano for the Young Beginner

Ages 5 & Up

Young beginners of ages 5-6 need a little extra attention - Piano for
the Young Beginner provides the perfect primer level books
specifically geared towards these students. Utilizing a Middle C
approach, these books begin with pre-staff notation and proceed to
reading on the Grand Staff. Slower pacing allows additional
reinforcement to ensure a solid foundation of fundamental skills
and concepts.

Your 5 and 6 year olds will delight in the bright, happy melodies; fun,
clever lyrics; and captivating, pedagogically related
illustrations. Piano for the Young Beginner is
also an ideal start when you have two beginning
students from the same family.
