I have a new little student who just started lessons using the unique and very creative piano method book, My First Piano Adventures, by Nancy and Randall Faber. This wonderful series is has everything you need for young beginners, but I like to make extra material to go along with the book, just for fun or review.
My student was so excited when I asked her if she would like a Valentine’s song! When I checked out my resources, I could not find a Valentine’s piece that was easy enough, so I came up with a Valentine she can play.
If you like using this kind of material for young beginners, get a copy of My First Piano Adventures Book A and study it carefully!

Thank you for your lovely ideas to make piano music fun and enjoyable
After having one student finish levels A, B and C, and then go into a multi-key course like Celebrate Piano, I think as I teach MFPA I’d have students do the pieces in multi-keys, as they’re learning pentascales! I do like both courses!
And, thank you for your pre-reading pieces! Great additions for students who cannot read notes yet!
Thanks for the suggestion, Aleta. It is a good reminder to know where you’re going so you can prepare the student!
