Classical Songbook
Beginner Piano
The most beloved classical melodies — Beethoven, Bach, Mozart — reworked in Numu2 numeric format so a beginner can play them the day the book arrives.
Piano books for kids who haven’t connected — yet
Play the first time you try.
If your child can count, she can play. Numu2 replaces sheet music with numbers, so the music starts on day one — not after months of decoding symbols.
Doug’s unique method of teaching piano using numbers helps students of all learning styles quickly grasp the concepts and skills needed to play rich and complex music. Laced with music theory, students will know not just the ‘what’ but the ‘why.’
The Method
Your daughter isn’t bad at piano. She’s bad at sheet music.
Most kids who quit piano don’t quit because they can’t play. They quit because they can’t decode the symbols. Numu2 skips the symbols and starts with the notes.
Standard notation
𝄞 ♩ ♩ ♭
Weeks to decode before the first real song.
