Bastiens' Invitation to Music: Performance Party Book A
Give a very young beginner more music to enjoy with Performance Party Book A. This companion to Piano Party Book A provides additional pieces that reinforce the first keyboard, rhythm and pre-reading skills in Bastiens' Invitation to Music.
A Friendly First Performance Book
Book A supports learning the music alphabet, high and low, keyboard direction, finger numbers and white-key names. Students practise quarter, paired eighth, half, dotted-half and whole-note values, use black-key clusters to establish a comfortable hand position, and finish with middle C pieces in pre-staff notation.

Who Is It For?
Made for young first-time pianists, including children aged four and up, who are beginning with Invitation to Music Book A.
Our Take
The extra repertoire gives beginners time to become comfortable at the keyboard before concepts move ahead. It is particularly helpful for teachers who want to reinforce new skills through playing rather than worksheets alone.
