 Just A Peek At
Anybody Can Play Materials
So you have some idea of the types of lessons in the Anybody Can Play
Preschool Program, here is a peek at just a few of them.
Anybody Can Play teachers have access to Recruitment/Marketing files,
Songs, Theory, etc. Every lesson sheet that goes home is on a
separate pdf. with an Email for the parents. All Anybody Can Play
teachers are encouraged to send an Email to the parents on a weekly
basis that includes the lesson for the week. Parents really do
appreciate this.
Since Anybody Can Play starts children who are non-reading and young we
have to present learning to play the piano in very different
ways. I always say I was out there teaching preschoolers to play
the piano before it was "cool" - well before all the studies that show
the benefits of early piano training. I gave my musical debut at
age three (precocious singing voice) and my dad bought me my first
piano when I was four-years-old. I have always loved the
piano.
The original curriculum was developed using 3 and 4-year-olds as
"consultants". If they didn't like a song, it was out! If
they didn't understand the presentation, it was changed! The
curriculum has been very successful and many innovative features of it
have been copied (but obviously not understood) by other
publishers. I hope you enjoy looking at these few files
included here.
I am sure you all have the capability of opening a pdf file, but just
in case you don't....
To view a PDF file, you need
the FREE
PDF
reader from Adobe.
You can obtain it by clicking here.
This is one of the Recruitment files that can be used by the Certified
Anybody Can Play teachers. It is a full page, front and back,
that can be laminated and left with the director. Unlike a
business card, it tends not to get lost. When laminated it looks
very professional as well - and doubles as a poster.

leave with directors click

The Rain Song is one of the first songs the children learn, so is
taught using right hand finger numbers. Some of the teachers
teach hands together at this point. Others opt to wait until the
children know more songs, then return to "old" songs and add the left
hand in parallel.
To access the first part of the Rain Song in finger numbers click
here.
It seems to help the children learn when they can
see the song in
parts. The Rain Puzzle is for laminating and cutting apart so the
children can line up the pieces in order.

access the Rain Puzzle with the Email to parents click

This is one of countless theory sheets Anybody Can Play teachers may
use.

Once we start teaching notation to the children we review in as
creative ways as possible. The children like these Tiny Silly
Songs - very non-intimidating! Some of the children give them
names so they don't have to be called "Silly". This is the first
in many combinations.
To access Tiny (8 to a page) 5 note quarter note Silly Songs click
