Description:
The Bastiens' Invitation to Music series uses gradual multi-key approach, guiding children from pre-staff notation to staff reading. Illustrations and activities that are fun and instructional enhance learning and heighten interest. Ideal for children 4 and up. 'Performance Party' books correlate with each 'Piano Party' book. They provide additional music for the student to play and help to secure the skills and musical foundation established by the related Piano Party book. Distributed by Kjos Music.

Book B continues with a variety of pieces in pre-staff notation. Steps and skips, crossing-hands-arpeggios and I chords in C, G, F, the two-note V7 chord, and counting rhythms (three eighths, single eighths, and dotted quarters). The staff is introduced by identifying and writing skips.
