For children who begin taking piano lessons in the spring or summer, Tio the Little Keyboard Man is the perfect book for sun and outdoor fun. But what happens when the first piano lessons take place as the days get shorter? Suppose little Tio wants to celebrate Christmas? We are sure we'd love to, particularly since he knows many Christmas carols from various countries. Kerstin Strecke has put some of them to music in Tio feiert Weihnachten. Some of the pieces are in two versions, and the book is like the previous one lovingly illustrated. In a way, the new book grows alongside the earlier one: the very easy variant for the first Christmas at the piano, and the easy one the following year. Children will have fun with Tio at every time of the year.

For several years, Tio, The Little Keyboard Man , has been looking over the shoulders of younger and older piano beginners as hero and helper. Used to complement schoolwork, the little Tio pieces help to recreate and deepen what has been learned in other contexts. Whether now as a single player or paired as a duet, whether relaxed at Christmas or bold in an expanded tonal space - Tio is always on the spot and has packed the appropriate music. After five volumes, a sixth and final volume will complete the piano series. A Goodbye Song For the sixth and closing volume of her Tio series, the piano pedagogue and artist Kerstin Strecke has compiled a selection of German and European children's songs. Presented primarily as supplementary literature from the first piano lesson, the volume even includes several pieces in two levels of difficulty and for four-hand playing. Song texts are given in German or in their original language and freely translated into German. A table of contents of the songs, in English, can be found at the end of the volume, lovingly illustrated by the author herself. Small, interspersed additional assignments also support a first understanding of music theory in the young keyboard artists.
