I got these for my niece, she’s nearly 6 and loved them. She is learning to read now and it was great to see her sounding out names and putting the letters together to spell them on the necklaces. It’s evident that she’ll be playing with these for a while as she discovers that you could actually load up the strings instead of having only a couple of beads in the middle. That said: you might want to get some extra beading string right off the bat; we were out in a very short time with lots of beads left in the box. The beads are sturdy, cute and easy to put on the strings. The box has a nice lid and keeps everything organized and easy to put away.

Great starter beading for young ones. Much more durable then the plastic ones and the strings with the covered ends make it easier on Mommy!

The beads are just the right size for little hands, the box is great for storing the beads and string, and there is friction between the wood beads and the round-shoelace-type string so the beads stay on the string. This is a great toy. The box is less than an inch high so it is friendly to those of us with small homes.
I bought this one for my nephew. When I told my kids, they protested because they mistakenly thought that I had given theirs away.
Only problem: It is slightly tricky to get everything back in the box so that it closes. It is not too bad though.
Overall - I highly recommend this toy. I plan to keep it for my grandkids when my kids are done with it.

So cute, a lot of variety and durable. Melissa and Doug products are so long lasting and promote individuality and creativity.

Piano sheet music provides a great incentive for piano students giving them a chance to expand their repertoire and play special pieces chosen just for them. Piano lesson method books are important for children who are learning musical ideas and concepts that are brand new to them. Following a plan or method that has been tested ensures students will succeed and there won?t be gaps in their musical knowledge. In method books, piano knowledge is incorporated into simpler, shorter pieces of music that allow students to gradually add new playing skills to their list of piano abilities. Method books cover such topics as hand position, note reading, articulation, dynamics, and music theory concepts. While they are important, however, once a student has accumulated a set of playing skills they’re ready apply this knowledge to more creative music.
Piano teachers often give students who have enough experience special sheet music to play for occasions such as recitals and holidays. Sheet music doesn?t have to be a single piece of music though. Sometimes piano teachers will give students special music books with a variety of unique pieces suitable for recitals. The important point to remember for you child taking piano lessons is that they may need encouragement at first to learn these more challenging pieces and to of course bring them to their lessons.
Because children like routine and are accustomed to playing the next song in their regular piano lesson book which is generally not too difficult, progressing to sheet music can make students feel uncomfortable at first. They may come to their lesson without their new piece of sheet music saying, ?Was that part of my lesson? It?s not really a book, just a few pages. For reasons only children understand they may think the piece of sheet music their teacher assigned it is not important, or not their real piano book. So pay attention when your child brings home their first piece of sheet music and be sure to celebrate it. For example, ?Wow! Your piano teacher gave you a real piece of music to play! Cool! Congratulations!? Sometimes children have things a little up-side-down and need adults to invert situations to help them broaden their perspective. Piano lessons are no exception.
Once children have played a few pieces of sheet music that their piano teacher has chosen just for them, they look forward to getting this special music to play. Just be sure to encourage your piano student when they get bring their first piece of sheet music home and make sure they take it with to their piano lessons so their teacher can help them learn to play it.
