PIANO FOR PRESCHOOLERS WINS TOP HONORS AS BEST TOY FOR 2007 BY DR. TOY
Dripping Springs, TX -- July 2007 -- Piano for Preschoolers -- the award-winning program that allows parents without any musical background to teach their children between the ages of 3 and 8 how to play real music on real keys through a color coded guide -- has been named Dr. Toy’s Best Products Resource Program Summer 2007. The prestigious award proves that Piano for Preschoolers is a leader and innovator in educational toys.
“We’re thrilled to be selected as a winner,” says Angie Crellin, creator of Piano for Preschoolers, a classical musician for more than thirty years and mother of two, who created the system as a way for children to master piano at an early age. “The national recognition this award brings is very exciting. Each time I hear from a caring parent about their child’s success and the special memories they are creating while giving their child all the benefits of early piano instruction makes me so proud.”
Dr. Toy, Stevanne Auerbach, PhD, one of the country’s leading expert on play, toys and children’s products, selects educationally oriented, developmental and skill building products from the best large and small companies in her four annual award programs—Best Classic Toys, Best Vacation Products, 100 Best Children’s Products and Smart Play Products of Excellence. Her best products programs are a unique, original and copyrighted review of children’s products and many parents, teachers and toy buyers use Dr. Toy’s guidance in making selections. Dr. Toy’s Guide on the internet (www.drtoy.com ) is visited by more than 80,000 visitors a day.
Studies indicate that early music education enhances brain function and academic learning in children. Piano for Preschoolers does just that by encouraging early childhood brain development, helping prepare children for school, enhancing math and science skills, and helping kids acquire a lifelong love of music. In 2005 and 2006, Piano for Preschoolers, was the recipient of the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award, the only award program ever to be honored by Disney.
For less than one month of private piano lessons, children receive the benefits of early piano instruction that will last a lifetime. The Piano for Preschoolers basic course ($49.95) includes a 17-song music book, a 19-lesson parent/teacher handbook, a 17 track CD including "count aloud" voice over for each song in the music book, and two keyboard color strip guides (one for full-sized piano, and one for mini-key electronic keyboard). Supplemental music books and a quality electronic keyboard are available to purchase separately.
