Rave Reviews As a Certified Teacher of Kelly Kirby Kindergarten Piano, I have several of my4 and 5 year olds using the Doctor Mozart Book. They are enjoying it immensely. D.L., AB. Our Kindergarten and 1st graders especially love this book. I’m really impressed with how much they enjoy doing their theory work. If anything is going to get done during the week, it is their pages in Doctor Mozart. L.H., Huntington Center for the Arts, LA I have been searching for a theory book which will enhance the piano student’s lessons rather than bore them. I have also been unable to find theory books which focus on linking the keyboard to the staff. The Doctor Mozart theory book is filled with everything for which I have been searching. The pages are colorful, and there are interesting, fun tips that help students retain information in ways not found in the traditional theory books. I was THRILLED to find that this book has many sections dedicated to helping the student realize how each staff note is related to a key on the piano. Thank you!
