I love the songs in this book. The notes are not on a staff, but in simplistic form with the note name printed on the note head. The position is shown in an illustrated drawing. These are much longer songs than anything the students have done in their lesson books, to this point, however, and I would not recommend using it unless you have a very talented student who needs a bit more challenge (yet still needs some time for their fingers to grow), or at the end of level one at the soonest.The songs are traditional, standard kids' church songs including Jesus Loves Me, and This Little Light of Mine. Most songs are two pages long, about four to five lines. There is a story line and teacher duet / accompaniment as well.My daughter is 7 years old, and using the level 2 Mozart books. She is the type of learner that does best with going slowly and passing a ton of pages as opposed to being assigned one or two challenging songs (even though she could do them, this shuts her down.) When she first started "This Little Light" it was a bit intimidating to her, and it took her a bit to get comfortable with doing that long of a piece.So my advice - know your student's learning style. These are wonderful if your child knows where the notes are in middle C position and are beginning to show some independence in their playing, but may be a bit intimidating at first for some.
In Alfred's Little Mozarts series, Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear help Clara Schumann-Cat choose music for the children's choir to sing in church. These are nice arrangements of popular sacred tunes that can be played in middle-C position. If you want your students to be able to play the songs in other keys, color in the quarter notes, white-out the half and wholes notes, and write in the solfege syllables above the notes. The only problem with this is that you then have to transpose the accompaniments yourself.Amazing GraceDeep and WideDo, LordFor the Beauty of the EarthI've Got the Joy, Joy, JoyJesus Loves MePraise God from Whom All Blessings Flow (Doxology)Rise and ShineStand Up, Stand Up for JesusThis Little Light of Mine
Glad that keeps these in stock. My wife and I run a Music Academy and buy all our books from . When we pick up a new student, I can get their book here in less than two days and have it ready for their next lesson. Music for Little Mozarts is a fun series for beginning students. We have bought the little stuffed animals to go with it and our students love it!
This little book contains great Sunday school songs that a young student can master easily. If you're child/student has completed Book 1 and is currently in Book 2, this music would be perfect for them to play. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because the notes are shown without a staff. This is done to make it simpler for young children, but my 5 year old would be perfectly fine with the staff. I made a photocopy of the book and drew the staff lines with a ruler.
My daughter started piano in the Little Mozart series this past summer. It is so easy to work with her on her lessons and it introduces concepts in a fun way with the main characters so she can understand. Goes a bit slow so it is definitely for young piano students, but it is a great place to start for a first or second grader who is anxious to learn. The "Go To Church" book is teaching her songs that she is familiar with such as "This Little Light of Mine" and "Jesus Loves Me". She gets such joy out of being able to play a song for us!
