Teaching material

[sgearry]

Dear fellow pianists,

Thank you so much for voting. I would like to share the release of a new beginner tuition book series called Piano Skills, which has recently a positive review from Music Teacher Magazine. As the author, I am always happy to answer any questions and would greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments regarding the series.

If you think you might be interested in printing a free preview and having a listen to music from the books, please visit www.zebralinemusic.co.uk

Yours musically,
Stephen Gearry

The music is extremely beautiful! I'm really impressed actually, bravo. Any discount for teachers?

nice pics... by the way, where and when we can find the book?

Sure, but after they're proven.  Someone else can be the guinea pig.

Dear Bob,

I understand your concern. Please allow me to assure you that I have been using Piano Skills with all my beginner students for almost a year now to great effect. This is mainly due to the fact that Piano Skills was written over a course of three years alongside my very helpful students who provided a wealth of feedback and criticism for me to draw and reflect upon. Furthermore, as already mentioned above, Music Teacher Magazine have very graciously reviewed Piano Skills, giving a “very big ‘thumbs up’!”

More about Music Teacher Magazine, written by a mixture of practitioners at the forefront of teaching, can be found here https://www.rhinegold.co.uk/magazines/music_teacher/default.asp

I believe that it would be wrong for anyone to impose a linear teaching ‘method’ as it were, which is one of the reasons why I thought it best to write a more flexible ‘resource’.  There are already hundreds of people using Piano Skills, and customer testimonials will be publicly available soon.
  
I hope this alleviates your concerns and allows you to enjoy the series.

My kindest regards,

Stephen Gearry

Hi Mira,

Thank you for your warm words, you're very kind. Discount will most certainly be available in the near future, but in the meantime, I hope this does not prevent you from taking a look.

Many kind regards,

Dear Pointofgrace,

Thank you for your interest in Piano Skills. At the moment, the series is only available in special stores or online at www.zebralinemusic.co.uk

I hope you enjoy the preview material and live recordings.

Many thanks,

Hi Stephen,

Had a look at our website and I applaud you for creating something to fill what you thought was missing in teaching resources.  Maybe I'm missing something...are we able to actually see a preview of the music rather than simply the content pages?  I see the sound samples, but would like to see the music itself.  Always on the look-out for new resources...so thank you!

Dear tdow,

Thank you for getting in touch, and thank you for your lovely comments. There is a printable preview on the homepage (via a link button on the left-hand side) which includes sample pages from each book. I very much hope you enjoy the preview.

Kindest regards,

Stephen

Every series has great comments from people.  I meant I'd use a new book after other people are already using it, after the kinks have been worked out of it too.

Dear Bob,

Thank you for your message. Piano Skills has already acquired professional credibility. Perhaps it would be appropriate to reiterate that Piano Skills has recently received a positive review by Music Teacher Magazine, and that hundreds of people are already using the series with great results.

My kindest regards,
