PianoFonics Activities PLUS Entrada® Piano Technique
MicroMoment Teaching Events
“How to Think” Concepts and “How to Play” Technical Movements
“PianoFonics ToolBoxes help teach beginners by incorporating
ten Entrada Piano Technical Movements from the very first lessons.
Descriptive language promotes building a great technical foundation from the outset,
allowing “elementary” pianists to more quickly and assuredly become “intermediate” players
who know how to solve technical problems and express themselves more fully.
It’s exciting to see how successful students are after absorbing SlurSlides, Quiet Hands, In and Out,
and other basic three-dimensional movements that are easy to teach and learn.
PianoFonics helps you to do more teaching and less correcting!”
