Beginner Piano Books

Beginner Piano Books for WOC Students

We like to start out piano students with Schaum set of beginner piano books. The way those books are written is very logical. First, students learn how to recognize middle C in both clefs (treble and bass). After that – one/two notes per song in each clef are added. Those notes are taught in step by step order. This allows beginner student to understand relation between notes on the staff and keys on the piano. With this particular set of book students learn how to read music rather than hand positions. We believe it is the proper way!

If I could rate Wind of Change Academy with more stars, I would. Fantastic music school and Mr. Marvin was so kind and wonderful with my son as he began lessons. We couldn't be more thrilled with his progress and he will have a great start to school band because of Wind of Change Academy.

My son who is 11 yo has started drum lessons with Kevin and we have been very happy. It's great that they have 2 drum kits, 1 for the 1 teacher and 1 for the student. The facility is also very nice. Great place overall.

It's been a great experience so far with my two sessions learning the piano at Winds of Change Academy. My instructor is nice and a great teacher, and theres no pressure. Can't wait to learn more as I go along.

My son really enjoys taking guitar lessons here with Mr. Gary. I really like that he took my sons music preferences into account when building lessons. It’s a nice facility. The staff is always welcoming. Scheduling is easy. Decent prices.

My 9 yr old son loves his music teachers, Lauren (piano) and Steve (trumpet), at Wind of Change Academy. The environment is relaxed but organized. The owner is very in tune to the needs of the clients and manges to be very flexible with times and schedules. We have tried other music lessons in the area but find Wind of Change the best for our needs due to the hours, experienced and friendly staff, as well as professionalism.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Everyone is super friendly, professional and patient! My teacher, Miss Jen is very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. I am glad I decided to try them.....I do recommend Winds of Change Music School highly.

Incredible Experience. I have an elementary school-aged daughter who started singing lessons. Her teacher is absolutely phenomenal. I would suggest anyone in Jacksonville try this school first. They know music, and are committed to teaching it to my child. Two thumbs up, five stars.

The professionalism at WOC is above reproach. Steve's preparedness, patience and instruction inspire me each week to practice. The front desk has worked with me when I have traveled and had to make up lessons. I would encourage anyone with a beginning music student to consider WOC.

Hi I enjoy Wind of Change Academy. My 3 year old son takes piano lessons with Ms. CARRIE. she is amazing 100%. She is so patient and makes sure he has it before moving forward. Ms. Carrie uses great learning tools to help him remember everything. He can read and play the notes. We have been here for almost a year. Last weekend he was in the Wind of Change Academy recital and it was amazing. All of the children were perfect. We are happy and will continue to stay.

Personalized and individualized lessons for adults as well. Awesome, Mr. Josh!

I always wanted to play piano so now that I am retired I am taking lessons from Josh and truly enjoying this activity. Josh adapts to his students and Wind of Change is flexible with the schedule if you have plans that interrupt your appointed practice time. I would highly recommend to those seniors that want to enhance their "brain's power".

Our family highly recommends Wind of Change Academy. We have three children who participate in piano/guitar lessons there. The entire staff is professional, friendly and courteous, and they are accommodating when make-up lessons need to be arranged. All three of our children are progressing well in their abilities to read and play music. We recently attended our children's music recital and were also very impressed with the talent showcased by the other students that also study music there.
