I have the big Music Mind Games book. Do I need the new Handbook?
Can you please let me know if owning the original Music Mind Games book of 430 pages is adequate information for use with the Puppy packets that I just ordered? You are also selling the 40 page book that I may not need if I already own the big
book. Thank you, Marti
Hi Marti –
Thank you for writing me and your interest in Music Mind Games. The Handbook is very different from the big 1992 Music Mind Games textbook. It is a reference tool for beginning to advanced music students. Please read the description about what is contained in the Handbook for more details.
I highly recommend it to you. It contains so much information and its presentation makes often complicated concepts easy to understand. A lot of expert eyes have looked at it (I've actually been working on it for more than ten years) which has been very helpful to me.
Although I still recommend the Music Mind Games textbook, the information in it reflects my thoughts in 1992. I have taught so many students since then and learned from each experience. My current thoughts and ideas are in the Handbook. If you do decide to get it, please write me back and tell me what you think, ok?
best wishes, michiko
Hi Michiko,
Thank you for always answering my questions so quickly! Since you have recommended the updated teachers' handbook, I would like to go ahead and purchase it for use in my private piano studio. Since years I have been trying to find materials for the games in your textbook and couldn't find them. I was really too lazy to make them all, nor did I have the time. Now it's wonderful that you still have them ready made.
Thank you! I excitedly await the puppy packets as well as using your many valuable resources in the future.
Marti
PS. I would be happy to give you a feedback on the handbook as soon as I purchase it.
