With my classical training and Master's in Education I've found a way to make piano lessons fun, easy to understand, and effective for the beginner to intermediate student by thinking outside the music box! Join me in the quest to make learning piano as magical as music is to the listener.

Reinforcing Finger Numbers
This is an activity I use with my younger students to help reinforce finger numbers. I purchased a few finger puppets at a local teacher store. For the activity I'll have them place a puppet on each finger one at a time as I call out the finger I want them to place the puppet on. First, I specify which hand I'd like the child to hold up. Then I specify the finger number I'd like a certain puppet to go on. When all the puppets are on all five fingers I tell the child to take each puppet off their fingers one at a time based on what finger number I call out OR I ask the child to tell me what finger number a certain puppet is on before removing it. Example: Please remove the frog? What finger number was the frog on? My younger kiddos LOVE this activity! Until next time, piano blogger signing off.......
