What You Are Saying
"One of the most difficult things for any music teacher to do is to give a well-organized lesson that will cover all the basics. Increasingly, teachers are realizing that students need help in learning how to practice. The Piano Workbook is designed to help in both these areas. With the combination of the lesson assignment section and the practicing/studying aids, this publication is a great help to any teacher."
Alice Enns - Piano and Pedagogy Instructor, UBC School of Music
"The Piano Workbook is a one-of-a-kind handy reference guide which many students will find helpful in organizing their practice time. While well organized and offering many useful practice suggestions, The Piano Workbook also offers flexibility allowing the teacher to easily adapt it to their own pedagogical approach. A welcome addition to the pianist's library!"
David Vandereyk – Capilano College Instructor, Vancouver, B.C.

"The Piano Workbook is a concise resource for novice or seasoned teachers and students alike. The glossary, overview of musical periods, technical exercises complete with fingering and aural aids display Siemens' comprehensive pedagogical knowledge and expertise.
A terrific aid for teachers to groom independent learners during time-crunched lessons, as well as a comprehensive way for parents to monitor progress, The Piano Workbook is a tool every studio could benefit from.”
Tara Wohlberg – Piano Instructor, Vancouver
"The Piano Workbook is a concise, easy-to-follow guide which provides students with an excellent structure for their home practice sessions. As parents with very little music background, the "Practicing," "General Musicianship" and "Technique" sections have given us with important tools to assist my daughter in her music studies."

It provides practical strategies to simplifying what can be an overwhelming process, teaching students how to learn, so that there is nothing aimless about the time and effort they put into their lessons and practice. I wish I had had something like it when I was a piano student."

"The Piano Workbook has an excellent layout with clearly presented concepts. There are many helpful tips for the student in clear language and opportunities to go back and look at points that may have been discussed in class, but need review."
