About the Authors

Christine H. Barden
Christine H. Barden stands as a leading voice in early childhood music education and co-authored Alfred's Music for Little Mozarts preschool piano method. Based in Reno, Nevada, she maintains a private piano teaching studio where she instructs accomplished students in piano, composition, and Music for Little Mozarts classes.

Barden earned her degree in piano performance from San Francisco State University, where she studied under Vladimir Brenner, a soloist with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. She spent four years immersed in European musical study, performance, and teaching. As one of the first American educators to train with Yamaha Music Foundation instructors in Japan, she subsequently spent 17 years on Yamaha's national staff, serving as Director of Curriculum and National Chief Instructor for the Yamaha Music Education System.

An accomplished clinician, Barden regularly leads workshops for piano teachers at conferences across the United States and internationally in England, Norway, and Singapore. Her published works with Alfred include the Music for Little Mozarts series and multiple piano solos, notably "Etude Toccata," which was selected as a National Federation of Music Clubs Junior Festival piece.
Gayle Kowalchyk
Dr. Gayle Kowalchyk is a pianist and educator currently serving on the faculty at California State University, Northridge, where she teaches class piano, individual piano instruction, and piano pedagogy. She earned her bachelor's degree in piano performance from Ohio University, a master's degree in piano performance and pedagogy from Northwestern University, and a doctorate in piano pedagogy from Teachers College at Columbia University.

Throughout her career, Dr. Kowalchyk has held teaching positions at several institutions, including Eastern Illinois University where she coordinated the class piano program and directed the piano preparatory program. She has also taught at Oklahoma Baptist University and the University of Oklahoma, Norman. Her summer teaching experience includes work at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan from 1979 to 1982, where she instructed class piano and piano ensemble.

As a prolific clinician and adjudicator, Dr. Kowalchyk regularly presents at major conferences including the Music Teachers National Association, Music Educators National Conference, National Group Piano Symposium, National Piano Teachers Institute, and the World Piano Pedagogy Conference. In collaboration with her husband, Dr. E. L. Lancaster, she has co-authored more than 300 educational piano publications, including Alfred's Premier Piano Course and Music for Little Mozarts. Currently based in the Los Angeles area, she works as a clinician for Alfred Music while maintaining her teaching practice.
E. L. Lancaster
Dr. E. L. Lancaster served as Executive Editor of Piano at Alfred Music and currently teaches piano as adjunct faculty at California State University, Northridge. He holds degrees from Murray State University and the University of Illinois, along with a Ph.D. from Northwestern University.

For nearly two decades, Dr. Lancaster was Professor of Music at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, where he founded the master's and doctoral programs in piano pedagogy in 1980. He supervised more than 50 doctoral dissertations and directed the Piano Pedagogy Laboratory Program, which integrated group and private instruction for pre-college students. From 1981 to 1996, he and his wife, Dr. Gayle Kowalchyk, operated a substantial independent piano studio in Norman. His teaching excellence earned him the Regents Award for Superior Teaching (1984), an Associated Distinguished Lectureship (1987), the Provost's Outstanding Academic Advising Award (1996), and the Outstanding Faculty Award in the College of Fine Arts (1996). In 1991, he received a David Ross Boyd Professorship, recognizing exceptional achievement in teaching, counseling, and student guidance.

Dr. Lancaster has held leadership positions within the Music Teachers National Association, including National Chairman of Group Piano, National Chairman of Student Chapters, and 2020 National Conference Chair. He also served in administrative roles with the National Conference on Piano Pedagogy. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia named him a Signature Sinfonian in 2013, and Murray State University presented him with its 2014 Distinguished Alumnus Award, the institution's highest honor.

Why we love this

This replacement marker is a practical essential for any preschool piano studio using the Music Activity Board. The magnetic backing keeps it accessible during lessons, and the built-in felt eraser means students can erase and try again without interrupting the learning flow.

Who it's for

Early childhood piano teachers using the Music for Little Mozarts curriculum. This replacement marker is ideal when your original wears out or when you need a backup during group preschool piano classes.

How to use it

Keep a spare marker in your teaching bag so you're never caught without one during a Music for Little Mozarts class session. Stock your studio or school music room with extras so teachers always have a functioning marker ready for the Activity Board.
