About the Meridee Winters Music Method:

Founded by a former school teacher, the Meridee Winters Music Method was created as a solution to a problem: that lesson and exercise books teach at the “rote and recall” level, with little room for creativity. There is also a need for great music materials for learners of all styles, including gifted learners, young learners, students that fall on the autism spectrum, those with dyslexia and more. The Meridee Winters Music Method tackles all of these complex needs with her playful, progress-boosting books and activities.

Organize, create and supercharge your piano lessons with this innovative book, part of the Meridee Winters “Whole Brain” approach to music education and a great supplement to any series.

They have been carefully simplified so that, instead of learning just one or two carols, you will find that you can play a wide selection, to the delight of your friends and family!
