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 D expands reading to positions in D, A, E (Group 2); D-flat, A-flat, E-flat (Group 3); and G-flat, B-flat, and B (Group 4). Flats and sharps, more dynamic markings, and key signatures are presented. As in Book C, students are asked to write the counts in every piece indicated by the pencil icon.
