Pianimals

A developomental approach

In the first years of life we learn to stand, walk, run and jump.
Pianimals gives the beginning pianist's hand the same developmental experience.
The Feldenkrais-style exercises empower children in their very first steps at the piano.

For grownups too

These exercises are a great remedial experience for any pianist...
and the compositions are fun to play for both pupil and teacher.

        A complete set of pedagogical materials including the...

• Pupils' Method Book: Volumes I & II

• Teachers' Manual: with exercises and explanations on how to apply them in the pieces

• Pianimals Pointers: a small notebook with quick descriptions of the key exercises - a handy tool for the studio teacher.

• The Pianimals Playbook: Secundo on the left page, Primo on the right, all the compositions in one performance volume; thumbnail illustrations only.

Each piece has its own animal who plays the piano in its own unique way...

... and Lucky the Cat is always there keeping an eye on things...
