The New Edition
I am so happy to be releasing this brand new edition of My Muscle Builder Book! My Muscle Builder Book has been a staple in my studio and many others for many years. I use it with every new beginning child student that I teach, and its benefits are huge when students realize that they can harmonize a lead sheet, play in so many keys and positions on the piano and have greater confidence in their musical literacy. I have been wanting to redo this book for a long time now to give it a fresh look and make it even better.
This new edition makes printing much simpler for teachers – you do not need a color printer, and it you simply print it one page per regular sheet of paper. Although it is not in color, it is absolutely adorable, and students learn accountability and the importance of daily practicing of their scales with the motivating reward of coloring a picture on the coloring page each time they complete the page of exercises.
This new edition is also easier to print and more affordable when you purchase paperback copies for your students.

I love My Muscle Builders! They are a great introduction to 5-Finger Scales, making them accessible to young children before they are introduced in lesson books. My students love this fun book too!
