The Stewart Piano Method
What
is special about the Stewart Piano Method?
Book 1 of Mrs Stewart's Piano Lessons has 25 ready to use lesson plans
and usually takes about 30 weeks to complete. (That is less than $1 per
lesson!) Each lesson in the method contains a detailed lesson plan for
the student to follow. The teacher keeps the remaining lessons and introduces
the next lesson plan when the student is ready. Each lesson page has room
for the teacher to add extra written material. STEWART PIANO© has been a tried and proven method for over 50 years.
What
kinds of music do the students play?
STEWART PIAN0© starts with BIG sounding music all over the keyboard.
Students learn quickly .... the first 15 lessons acquaint them with the
keyboard and get their fingers working before note reading starts. They
learn 12 Major scales transposing melodies into these scales and pieces
with chords. By the time they reach Lesson 16 where note reading begins,
the student is well acquainted with the keyboard and eye-hand coordination
is working smoothly.
What
ages can learn Stewart Piano?
The Pre-School Book is designed for the average 5 to 7 year old to learn
a new lesson each week. Younger children stay on each lesson longer and
adults move more quickly through the lessons. Any pre schooler who desires
to play the piano can learn STEWART PIANO if that child can recognize ABCDEFG
and 1234567. Many 3 and 4 year olds are ready and eager to play.
Children learn best in small groups of 4 or 5 children. The teacher needs
only one piano. They learn from each other and develop confidence about
playing in front of people. They stimulate each other to practice. STEWART
PIANO lessons are flexible and accommodate fast as well as slow learners
in the group. The teacher is freed from writing lesson plans and can spend
the time teaching instead of writing.
