Karen will soon be writing a regular blog series called “Karen Marshall’s Music Room”. Look out for first first blog post very soon! AVAILABLE ON Although music is written on the stave and is divided by barlines, no time signatures are included; This book is an introduction to the piano and early musicianship. The focus is not on the artistry of piano-playing. The aim of the book is to simply provide a gateway to music through the piano.’ My First Piano Book From Collins Music come a set of books in the popular Get Set! Piano series: My First Piano Book and My First Piano Pieces, Puzzles and Activities. Some pieces have straightforward teacher duet parts to encourage ensemble playing from the start, and there are lots of music theory puzzles and activities to consolidate learning and offer an extra layer of fun and exploration. The book is illustrated throughout in the charming Get Set! style, and students are encouraged to decorate and colour in the drawings to reflect their progress. Suitable for children aged 5+.Get Set! Piano Pieces Book 1 is an exciting new collection of pieces by Heather Hammond and Karen Marshall, arranged and written specially for the twenty-first century child. Holistic – includes rhythm, pitch reading (find/say/play activities) aural, theory, technique and composing/improvising skills alongside child friendly and teaching rich repertoire.

Systematic and Progressive – going from the known to the related unknown, making sure that progress is steady and solid. The books are designed to introduce young children (from the age of around five) to the piano and music-making through ‘fun activities, rhymes, songs and pieces.’ The author writes: After the success of the first four books Karen embarked on writing two books for younger beginners aged 5 to 7 years that could come before Get Set! Tutor 1. These books took five years to complete having tried and tested the material over and over in small group lessons and one to one lessons in two primary school as well as in Karen’s private practice. This was done to ensure the two primer books seamlessly move to Get Set! Piano tutor 1 and Pieces book 1 or any other tutor with the child having a foundation in musicianship and the workings of the piano (eg. Where the notes are on the keyboard). Many teachers (including Karen and Heather) have already had much success using these books before Get Set! Tutor 1 (launched in May 2020). Parents too have enjoyed using the books at home with their children. Here’s some quotes from a Mother and Daughter who have previous used the titles.Karen Marshall said: “Myself and Heather hope students and teachers enjoy these new resources. It’s our way of saying thank you for your continued support and interest in the series (more will be added in the future!). We wish everyone a wonderful start to the term (whether online or face-to-face teaching). Stay safe, everyone, and happy music-making.” The author’s tried-and-tested progression covers note learning, theory, aural and composing through a creative and holistic approach. Many pieces have simple teacher duet parts to encourage ensemble playing from the start, and the book is illustrated throughout in the charming Get Set! style. This carefully designed tutor will inspire, entertain and, most importantly, nurture a love of music that can last a lifetime. Drawing on the Kodály approach, there is a strong emphasis on singing. Students are initially encouraged to sing short melodies before going on to play them. Divided roughly into four sections, the book covers: Karen Marshall must be one of the few people who has inspired as many teachers as she has students. It is always a pleasure to review her publications because they have clearly been tried and tested in practice. My First Piano Book is no exception. Beautifully designed and illustrated with lots of interactive activities so children can make it their own.
