Recreational Music Making Handbook

Did you know that 82% of adults wish they could play a musical instrument?*  But most believe they lack the talent to succeed – or are intimidated by the challenges and formal requirements of traditional piano study. As a result, they never try.

Recreational Music Making (RMM) was created to give anyone, regardless of age or musical ability, a chance to succeed.  This handbook will provide a practical, step-by-step foundation for piano teachers who want to begin teaching in the RMM style.
