Recreational Music Making is a new and exciting movement in piano pedagogy. The core concepts are that the piano is for everyone—not just professionally minded students—and that lessons should be fun and relaxing for both student and teacher. This handbook from industry veterans Brian Chung and Brenda Dillon is a step-by-step manual for teachers who are interested in implementing or exploring this concept in their own studios. Topics: Philosophy of Recreational Music Making; Traditional Versus Recreational Teaching; Setting Up a Program; Principles of Group Teaching; Teaching on Two Pianos; Teaching with a Piano Lab; Lesson Planning; and Partnering with Retailers.
