First Piano Steps 2 | The SNOWMAN® Piano Learning System

What if learning to play the piano and reading music could take on an entirely different approach from what you’ve experienced so far? Imagine a method that is not only more playful and visual but also more efficient, structured, and, consequently, much easier than before. The key to this lies in interconnected and holistic thinking. This type of thinking emerges when we activate diverse and sometimes opposing abilities and brain regions, encouraging them to collaborate. Our body serves as a gateway to subconscious learning throughout this process. As we grasp concepts and engage in actions, we form connections based on these experiences. Connections that might otherwise seem abstract, complex, and hard to remember begin to make sense, one hurdle after another effortlessly melting away. Learning becomes a joyful and playful journey. “Holistic approaches, in themselves, are not new. But this consistently implemented concept is a renewal of piano pedagogy. It‘s also new because it liberates music-making from the somewhat avoided gilded cage of art, while leading it towards that direction. At the same time, it keeps every individual in mind who wants to make music. Wonderful!” (J. Muschol) The content of ”first piano steps” are as follows: This piano learning guide, through images, imagination, and emotions, nurtures structural, analytical, and efficient thinking when playing the piano.
