Comment on Early Childhood Music Classes by Ellen Johansen

I am glad to hear you are considering early childhood classes. I have taught Musikgarten for over 15 years and I have loved every moment. I am a trained concert pianist and what makes program special is the teacher resources, the strong pedagogy and its connection to children. I hope you consider checking out their website. Also I welcome you to visit my website to see how I have turned this into a full time business that I teach in my independent studio along with individual piano lessons. I am the happiest music teacher!.

Great post! So interesting to hear some piano-specific ideas, after years of thinking about this as a single-line (flute) player.

I would add one more tip: “Practice, don’t test.” If you get into the habit of testing your memory, you get into the habit of allowing for the possibility of failure (since a test can be passed OR failed)…practice just makes you better every time.

So glad to find your blog!

I am a Finale user, too. This is the first time I have heard of MuseScore. Most of my peers use Finale as well. I’m really excited to try out MuseScore because I also make worksheets and edit music for particular instrumentations. How exciting that they offer it free!
Thanks for the links.

She is a playing the Bach-Petri transcription of Sheep May Safely Graze. View the sheet music at Sheet Music Plus here. This version is quite advanced. There may be easier versions available as well. For example, here is an arrangement by John Schaum, suitable for late intermediate or early advanced students.

Where can I find the sheet music to that piece she played? It is so soothing and pretty! I understand it is a Bach piece so I have visited two sheet music websites and it doesn’t come up.
