Popular with Kids; Recommended by Teachers.

"As a Certified Teacher of Kelly Kirby Kindergarten Piano, I have several of my 4 and 5 year olds using the Doctor Mozart Workbook. They are enjoying it immensely." D.L., Alberta.

"Our little ones (Kindergarten and 1st graders) especially love this workbook. I'm really impressed with how much they enjoy doing their theory work. If anything is going to get done during the week, it is their pages in Doctor Mozart." L.H., Huntington Center for the Arts, Monroe, LA

"I have been searching for a theory workbook which will enhance the piano student's lessons rather than bore them. I have also been unable to find theory workbooks which focus on linking the keyboard to the staff. The Doctor Mozart theory workbook is filled with everything for which I have been searching. The pages are colorful, and there are interesting, fun tips that help students retain information in ways not found in the traditional theory workbooks. I was THRILLED to find that this workbook has many sections dedicated to helping the student realize which staff note each key on the piano is related to. Thank you!" J.K., Maple Grove, Minnesota
