Der einfache Einstieg in das Klavierspiel für Kinder im Vorschulalter. Dieses Klavierbuch ermöglicht Kindern ab 3 Jahren ohne Vorkenntnisse alleine oder mit einer Begleitperson von Anfang an schöne Stücke zu spielen. Durch das gemeinsame Singen der Liedtexte werden Melodien und Rhythmik schneller und vor allem spielerischer kennengelernt. Die Umsetzung am Klavier gestaltet sich dadurch leichter, der Spaß am gemeinsamen Musizieren wird gefördert und die Anfänge am Klavier bereiten den Kindern somit große Freude! Der Ansatz In der Kinderstimme sind die Noten durch Bildernoten/Symbole ersetzt worden und 'Verwirrungen' im Notenbild, wie z.B. Taktstriche und Taktangaben, wurden bewusst weggelassen. Nur die Länge der Noten wird durch 'Note mit Hals' und 'Note ohne Hals' unterschieden. Durch einige nützliche im Buch enthaltene Hilfsmittel wird zudem das Kennenlernen der Klaviertasten im 5-Fingerbereich (Violin- und Bass-Schlüssel) vereinfacht und das Lesen richtiger Noten wird auf diese Weise bereits im Ansatz vorbereitet. Die kleinen Pianist(inn)en werden somit behutsam und motiviert mit der richtigen Portion Spaß an die Materie herangeführt.
