Music for Little Mozarts Lesson Books

Teachers rely on Music for Little Mozarts: Music Lesson Book 1 as their go-to introduction to piano for young learners. The progression through Books 2, 3, and 4 gives students a complete early-childhood method that builds systematically without overwhelming beginners. All four books in the series remain widely adopted across private studios and group piano programs.

Christine H. Barden is an internationally recognized authority on early childhood music and co-author of this preschool piano method. A graduate of San Francisco State University with a piano performance degree, she teaches prize-winning students and directs Music for Little Mozarts classes in her private studio in Reno, Nevada.

Dr. Gayle Kowalchyk teaches class piano and piano pedagogy at California State University, Northridge. She holds degrees in piano performance and pedagogy from Northwestern University and an Ed.D. in piano pedagogy from Teachers College, Columbia University, bringing rigorous pedagogical training to every lesson in the series.

Dr. E. L. Lancaster served as Executive Editor of Piano for Alfred Music and held the position of Professor of Music at the University of Oklahoma for nearly two decades, where he coordinated the group piano program. His experience in piano pedagogy and curriculum development shaped the methodological foundation of this series.
