Marvin's & Milton's Revenge!

I live in Connecticut and we are under a "watch" for EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis).  Thanks to all of those virus-carrying mosquitos, we have to be careful to avoid being bitten!

Well, rather than worrying about it or moaning about the inconvenience, we decided to add a fun spin to this dilemma!  Meet Marvin's & Milton's Revenge!

Marvin and Milton are simply two "misunderstood" mosquitos trying to make their way across the piano keyboard.  This board game is a great way to introduce or review whole and half steps with your early learners.

The game includes the game board, game cards, game pieces - Marvin & Milton - and full instructions.

Each player starts at one end of the game board working their way across trying to be the first to get to the other side.

If you've followed us or used our materials, you know there is always an exciting twist and Marvin's & Milton's Revenge is no different!

Enter...mosquito eating dragonflies!! Snap and all his friends need lunch and Marvin & Milton are in their sights!

BEWARE! There may be a duel or two involved in this game!

This exciting game is part of our ABC & 123 line for your younger students.  You can purchase Marvin's & Milton's Revenge by going HERE or clicking the on the Birds of a Feather Tab above.

My First Piano Book - A Flip Book for Early Learners and A SALE!

I'm really excited today to showcase a new line of resources designed for your early learners!  ABC  & 123 specifically provides material for 4 and 5 year olds.  The Piano Flip Book has been so popular that we decided to create a flip book that introduces young students (4-5 year olds) to the piano and beginning music theory.  

Meet MY FIRST PIANO BOOK, a fun and games book!

This interactive flip book is a fantastic way to start your young beginners. What better way to begin piano lessons than to introduce the piano with a fun coloring-sticker activity book!

In addition to the piano, MY FIRST PIANO BOOK introduces:
               * The Musical Alphabet
               * Musical Hands and Fingers
               * Simple Note Values
               * The Topography of the Keyboard
               * Line and Space Notes
               * Treble and Bass Clefs
               * Dynamics - forte and piano

As each page introduces one of the concepts above, students draw, color, fill-in-the-blanks, and add stickers!  We've also introduced five adorable and lovable bugs that will show up in all of the resources in the ABC & 123 line.  

We really wanted to make this flip book something that students would be excited to share with their parents and siblings so unique to this flip book, on each page there is a section titled, "At Home".  "At Home" provides detailed instructions for activities and games for students to complete during the week to reinforce what you've just taught them and to engage the family in the learning process.  

MY FIRST PIANO BOOK also provides flashcards for you to use right in lessons and for the "At Home" sections . There are cards for reviewing finger numbers, left and right hands, note values, etc.  We've even included a spinner!  All of the cards and the spinner have their own pockets in the flip book.

Once your student completes MY FIRST PIANO BOOK, there is a certificate of completion right on the back cover! 





So to recap...here's what's included:
             * A 14 page interactive music book
             * 9 pockets that include 8 sets of cards & 1 spinner 
                         Musical alphabet cards
                         Hands cards
                         Finger number cards
                         Note value cards
                         Keyboard cards
                         Clef cards
                         2 Sets of Dynamics cards (f and p)
              * A sheet of stickers
              * 18 "At Home" activities
              * A set of Award Stickers with for each of the Adorable Bugs!
              * Printing Instructions
              * Teacher Instructions
              * Parent Instructions for the "At Home" activities

MY FIRST PIANO BOOK can be used in lessons OR if you want a way to add students in the morning hours, consider using this interactive book with an early learner piano class by working on the book a page or so at each class over a few weeks.  MY FIRST PIANO BOOK would even work great for  homeschoolers!
