Unsurpassed in quality, pitch, and durability,
each Schoenhut® piano is crafted entirely by hand using the
finest materials. Schoenhut Toy Pianos are
authentic musical instruments, designed and built
to endure active play.
Each piano is chromatically
tuned, which educates the ear of the young performer
to the true value of musical notes and their combinations.
The lovely chime-like notes are produced by little
hammers striking precision-ground, German steel,
music rods. Each piano has one and a half to three
octaves (depending on the model), compared with
seven and a half on an adult piano.
PLAY-BY-COLOR
Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with
its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing
simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind
the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord.
The chart will also work on adult keyboards, since
keys on Schoenhut® toy pianos are of corresponding
width. This teaches children proper "finger
stretch" from the very beginning. The accompanying
Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes.
This Learning System has been specially designed
to build a child's confidence and develop basic
playing skills.
Studies show that children who are introduced
to music at an early age perform better academically.
In addition, piano playing develops creativity,
enhances motor skills, and promotes social interaction
and self-esteem. Learning a musical instrument
is educational, inspirational and just plain fun.  |
