My First Armenian Piano Book

Description

Inside, you’ll find beloved Armenian folk and traditional melodies, including works by Komitas, Tigranyan, Hakhverdyan and popular songs like “My Little Ball,” “Sun, Sun,” "My little Boat," “Loarik,” and “Mer Hayrenik.” Each arrangement is crafted to be accessible for early learners, making it easy to integrate into lessons, recitals, or home practice. To deepen cultural connection, songs with lyrics include phonetic translations from Armenian to English, allowing children to sing along, even if they’re new to the language. These sing-alongs help reinforce musical phrasing, pronunciation, and emotional expression. The book is organized progressively, starting with simpler pieces and gradually introducing more complexity. Along the way, you’ll find Buzz Bits, fun and insightful notes that share the story behind each piece, offering context and curiosity for both children and parents. Let this book be more than just sheet music, it’s a joyful bridge between generations, traditions, and the universal language of music.
