Learn to Play Piano and Sight Sing: Easy Lessons for Kids and Adults
Are you looking for a piano method that helps students become well-rounded musicians and not just button-pushers or note-memorizers?
The Sing & Play Easy Piano series is designed to do just that. These books combine sight-singing with step-by-step piano instruction to help kids, homeschoolers, and adult beginners learn to read, play, and understand music. Each song includes warm-up exercises to build the skills needed to play the piece and prompts to help them get started.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or self-learner, this series offers a fresh, musical approach that encourages progress from the very first lesson.
Why This Series Is Different
Most beginner piano methods rely on memorization, drills, and single-hand exercises that can feel tedious. This Sing & Play Easy Piano series takes a different path. From the very first lesson, students play simple, satisfying folk songs with both hands. Each book also teaches students to sight sing using solfege, reinforcing their ability to hear, sing, and play music while developing music reading skills.
Think of it as the best of Suzuki, traditional piano lessons, and voice training all in one approach.
How Each Book Builds Musical Skills Step-by-Step
The Sing & Play Easy Piano Series is structured in progressive levels, each one building on the skills learned in the last. Every song is paired with a set of warm-ups that help students master pitches, hand positions, intervals, and rhythms before they play the actual piece.
The warm-ups aren’t random. They’re thoughtfully designed to target the exact skills needed for that song. As students move through the books, they gradually expand their note-reading, sight-singing, and two-hand coordination with confidence.
1. Solfege Sight-Singing
Unlike most piano methods, these books integrate solfege using movable Do. This approach helps students understand pitch relationships and improves musical memory and overall musicianship. It’s not just about playing the notes. It’s about hearing and singing them, too.
2. Warm-Ups That Teach Performance Skills
Each song includes custom warm-up exercises. These aren’t just finger drills. They’re directly related to each melody, accompaniment patterns, and hand positions that students need to play the song. By the time they reach the song, they’ve already practiced its building blocks.
3. Playing in Multiple Keys From the Start
Students learn to play each song in four different keys – C, D, F, and G. This introduces the concept of movable Do and helps students understand transposition so they become comfortable playing in different keys.
Because sharps and flats show up naturally in the music, students gain confidence performing in multiple keys right from the beginning.
4. Clear Visuals and Simple Layout
Lessons are thoughtfully designed to lead students progressively through the book.
- Note names are labeled the first time they appear.
- Fingering numbers guide students without clutter.
- Hand position diagrams for every warm-up and song.
- Chord patterns progress gradually, supporting real development.
For All Older Beginners (Age 10 – Adult)
These books were designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re a parent working with your child at home, a teacher planning group lessons, or an adult revisiting piano after years away, you’ll find this method friendly, manageable, and musically meaningful.
This series is also a great fit for adults who already play another instrument and want to pick up piano. The songs are familiar, the steps include logical sequencing, and the chord-based approach makes it easy to connect what they already know with new keyboard skills.
