For the Little Musician: Musical Alphabet: Part I

This collection is a methodological manual intended for teaching children aged 4-5 years to play the piano. All musical material is published for the first time. The texts of the songs are figurative and accessible in content. Due to the... peculiarities of children's psychology at this age, the author considers it inappropriate to overload the musical text with unnecessary signs; therefore, the songs lack pauses that do not have melodic significance. The fingering and markings are not provided because, depending on the intended goal and the individual characteristics of the child's hand structure, the options may vary. The use of the teacher's part is not mandatory but serves as a harmonic complement to the melodies. The suggested rhythmic exercises can be one of the options for working on rhythm development.
