Magic Keys: For Little and Very Little Pianists

This genuine musical guide is an author's cycle of musical pieces united by a common theme - Magic Keys, in which the authors tell about music notation (keys, durations, and rhythms) in a playful, accessible form for young musicians. Each piece is a small illustrative story that can be seen in the drawing, learned as a poem, and played on an instrument. Along with mastering various types of technique, the pieces contribute to the development of the child's imaginative thinking due to the combination of music, poetry, and drawing. For concert performance, it is possible to compile small suites from the pieces in the collection. The guide contains a Music Primer, which provides the basics of music theory in a simplified form, and offers musical riddles for memorizing notes and rhythmic exercises.
