Sachiko Piano Method. The book teaches both students and teachers, how to attain the goal of playing piano music. There is a lot of “method books” for kids, that most teachers use in their practice. Those books provide teachers with alphanumeric denomination of piano keys. After those lessons kids are in complete misunderstanding, what are they doing, seating at the piano: striking the correct letter, number, finger, or key by any means. Being a piano teacher myself, I get those kids with “years of previous experience” in complete disarray. They have no idea, what are they doing by striking the piano keys with stiffed fingers. In fact they try to make music. And the music is “heart and soul”-not a “5 finger position”. The book is the first of the kind to explain step by step, how to correctly put the pianist hand, how to practice wisely and effectively, how to obtain necessary technique to play piano. You learn how to play music on such a unique and complex instrument and not become frustrated. You learn how to make dally practice enjoyable and musician happy. The book is lavishly illustrated. It becomes my classroom book and the kids love it.
