WHAT IS WUNDERKEYS - AND HOW DOES preschool piano WORK?

Wunderkeys is a preschool piano program designed for ages 3 through 5.  It was originally designed for private lessons, but many teachers are using the curriculum in small groups.  It's fun, simple, and super developmentally appropriate.  That means your child will love it, learn something, and never be pushed into performing or being judged or graded.  Each child is treated individually for who they are.

Teachers literally around the WORLD are grabbing on to this program.  Wunderkeys is designed to showcase the child, in a way that teachers can celebrate, and parents can encourage and collaborate.  You do NOT have to have a piano to be a Wunderkeys parent.  The program is designed to give all the tools and direction at the weekly lesson.  I have found that parents generally want to review the concepts at home, and I give easy directions for kids and parents to do some activities together that reinforce and bond the relationship.

What does a Wunderkeys lesson look like?

• Rhythm Rhymes - using speech, rhythm patterns, body percussion,  and rhythm instruments - we work on beat and rhythm skills while telling a story
• Ear Training Activities and Games - 
  • we train listening skills, utilizing piano playing for student and teacher
  • we explore keyboard geography 
  • we encourage following multi-step directions
• Duet Playing with Teacher
  • Improvising
  • following printed directions, left to right
• Math Activity Page
  • patterns and predicting
  • counting

All of this and more relates music, math, and patterns together.  I love teaching Wunderkeys.  I can see the foundation building with each child, each lesson.  Here is a video of a bit of a Wunderkeys lesson:
