Teach this course in one week and give a class recital on the last day. Hand-out registration forms for your piano studio at the recital and sign them up!

BLAST OFF WITH PIANO!© is a fantastic summer program (or “any time” program!) for your studio! Teach it all in 4 days and then give a recital for the parents on the 5th day! There are EASY pieces for your younger groups, plus MODERATELY DIFFICULT and CHALLENGING music for older groups! The students learn that they really can play the paino! Our TEACHER’S MANUAL has lesson plans, teaching aids, and accompaniments!

TIPS FOR TEACHERS: THE 2 BLAST OFF BOOKS ARE A MARKETING TOOL USED TO BUILD YOUR STUDENT BASE. For best results, teach these programs in ONE week! Group your students according to AGE! And, be sure to have some of our great GAMES available to play at theory time! Have your sign up table & car pool table ready at the recital on the 5th lesson!

Our BLAST OFF WITH PIANO! teacher's manual is written in an easy-to-understand style. Even novice teachers report great results to us after teaching this course! BLAST OFF WITH PIANO! is a great way for students to “see” if they would like to take piano at your piano studio! PLUS, it’s a great way for YOU to determine if the student is ready to take piano! Since the course is only five lessons long, you can teach it many times during the summer months! What a great way to build your group piano studio!

Many teachers use our BLAST OFF WITH PIANO!^© program as a music ministry program for their church. As a “graduation” performance, have all of your participating students play these three hymns for an offertory, prelude to the service, or special music. Put keyboards on tables across the front of the church at which the students stand while playing.

TIPS FOR TEACHERS: Each hymn has an “easy” part for younger students and a more challenging part for older students. Plus, there are beautifully arranged accompaniments to these three hymns in the teacher’s manual that allow you to play with the students and “hold” them together when performing.
