The Books
Each Numu2 book is a complete beginner songbook — no prior lessons required. Real songs on the first page, in the same numeric notation Doug has been teaching for 40 years. Ship-from-Amazon, in print, ready for a music stand tonight.
Beginner Piano · Numu2
The most beloved classical melodies — Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and more — reworked in Numu2 numeric format. Your child plays recognizable classical music from the first page, with the same hands that were struggling yesterday.
Beginner Piano · Numu2
Every favorite carol — Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, and more — in Numu2 numeric notation. A holiday recital, learned in an afternoon. The book that converts “I can’t play” into “listen to this.”
If the goal is a real recital moment — a kid sitting down at Grandma’s piano on Christmas Eve and playing a carol front to back — start with Christmas Songs. The melodies are already in her ear, which means the numbers click faster.
If the goal is building a musical foundation she can keep growing from, start with the Classical Songbook. The melodies are timeless, technically varied, and give her a repertoire she can return to for years.
Most families end up buying both. They’re written to work together.
If you’re not sure which book fits your child, or you want to know whether Numu2 will work for your specific situation, send Doug a note. He reads every message.
