What Customers Are Saying About Play by Color:
“This is the MOST successful center I have in piano class. Kids get sad if they don’t get a chance to look through the book and play a song. They want me to record them when they learn a song all by themselves.” – Maestra Chiquis
“Bought this for my grandaughter to use with her play piano. When she started playing a song she knew, the piano changed from something you pound on to something that you can make music with.” – Karen A.
“OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is the best thing EVER! I always save keyboards until the end of the year but really struggle with how to teach it to the littles in a large group setting. With this, they can be successful right off the bat! They LOVE it! I have a question, though. Students are wanting the music and I won’t give it to them (obviously) but is it okay to send a link to your TPT page so their parents can purchase it for their kids to use at home? Thank you SO much!” – Kandace W.
“My 3 year old boy loved playing happy birthday, ABC, wheels on the bus and you are my sunshine on the piano. Really helps improve his attention span and musical interest as well in piano” — Kathleen T.
“I was so excited to find this! I printed and laminated the pages. My daughter, well the whole house was able to play songs right away!” – Monica B.
