$15.00

This brand new edition of the popular My Muscle Builder Book features a great new design, easy-to-follow directions and fun coloring pages to color as students complete the exercises.

Learn beginning piano chords and scales in this adorable and easy-to-follow piano scales book. This technique book teaches beginning students how to play seven major pentascales and chords on the piano. Illustrated keyboard pictures show students exactly which notes to play, so they can successfully start using this book at the very first lesson. Emphasis is placed on playing the scales with good technique and using the metronome to establish a steady beat as well as smooth and even scales. Students are encouraged to practice each page several times throughout the week; once they have mastered the scales and chords the coloring pages will be all colored!

Students who complete this book have an early understanding of keyboard harmony. They achieve confidence in playing in many keys all over the keyboard instead of being confined to one or two hand positions. They are well on their way to being musically-literate and will have the skills necessary to begin harmonizing lead sheets, composing and making their own arrangements.

The New Edition

I am so happy to be releasing this brand new edition of My Muscle Builder Book! My Muscle Builder Book has been a staple in my studio and many others for many years. I use it with every new beginning child student that I teach, and its benefits are huge when students realize that they can harmonize a lead sheet, play in so many keys and positions on the piano and have greater confidence in their musical literacy. I have been wanting to redo this book for a long time now to give it a fresh look and make it even better.

This new edition makes printing much simpler for teachers – you do not need a color printer, and it you simply print it one page per regular sheet of paper. Although it is not in color, it is absolutely adorable, and students learn accountability and the importance of daily practicing of their scales with the motivating reward of coloring a picture on the coloring page each time they complete the page of exercises.

This new edition is also easier to print and more affordable when you purchase paperback copies for your students.

    I love My Muscle Builders! They are a great introduction to 5-Finger Scales, making them accessible to young children before they are introduced in lesson books. My students love this fun book too!
