For Piano

Wunderkeys

“Since 2020, I’ve seen kids thrive using the Wunderkeys curriculum. The books encourage musicianship, creativity, and a love for music!” – Laura Witvoet

WunderKeys is the first music book series in decades to make a real difference in piano education. When it comes to inspiring piano students, WunderKeys is in a class of its own. But we don’t just create for kids! Look inside our books and you’ll discover pedagogically sound approaches, logically sequenced activities, and perfectly paced repertoire that make teaching piano lessons simply wonderful.

For Ukulele

RAINBOW UKULELE

Rainbow Ukulele is a system for teaching Ukulele in the elementary general music classroom. In this system, students are systematically taught the history of the ukulele, the parts of the ukulele, how to tune, reading music (TAB and traditional notation), fingerstyle, and chords.

Wunder Keys
