• How to play Happy (major) and Sad (minor) Chords on the piano, and to hear the difference between the two.
• You will be able to compose duets and count aloud together with your helper (partner) as you play, or add lyrics to them instead of counting the beat.
• You will understand what is meant by transposition, and will be able to use it to play the beginning of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” starting on each of the musical animals.
• You will be able to receive your well-deserved Certificate, to celebrate finishing the book.

The Advantages of Following These Lessons

• By watching each short video lesson your child will automatically pick up the singing, playing, tapping etc. by copying the puppets or the child demos. 
• Dorian, the Dog puppet, and Miss Bell, the Bird puppet, show you the approach to learning each musical element and, in a short insert, children demonstrate to you the final result of each lesson.
• These video lessons help parents and teachers to organize a learning path for the child as they work together on this musical adventure. No previous knowledge of music is required from the parent/helper.
• Games and toys are most important in a child’s life, and by using the finger puppets or their own toys, children will be more relaxed, imaginative and more connected during their practice time.
• Children will experience the pleasure of making music and day by day you will be delighted to see the increase in their concentration span and coordination skills.

* Follows on from Part II. Parts I and II are available separately or sold together with part III at a discount price.
** For best results it is suggested to use this course with the Dogs and Birds Book 1 Bundle, the Tiles and Staves Bundle, and the Dorian and Miss Bell Finger Puppets (all sold separately, or sold together with the full 91 lessons in the Puppet Video Bundle).
