Martha Beth Lewis' Piano Web site This is a really great Web site recommended to me by Cafi Cohen (homeschooling author and piano teacher). Cafi comments: "All the hundred plus other articles at this site are equally informative. The author has addressed just about every conceivable aspect of learning piano and note reading. Don't miss the articles on eighth notes, teaching note reading, and ALL the articles on technique. What ever this woman makes for her lessons, she's worth every penny. Of particular interest: "Special Needs of Students Aged 2-5" and "Evaluating Young Students' Readiness for Piano Study."
