Learning to play piano is one of the best things you can teach your child! There are many different series that you can choose from. See the recommendations below for the series I would recommend, but choose according to your life style and musical goals. learning to play the piano can start with fun, creative ways of associating a note to an action…and this can start with tapping bells, xylophones, or even 8 note pianos. When I taught a Kindermusik class, we started with an 8 note xylophone. Now, they even have floor pianos, bells, and other creative ways to learn.
