Kids need to switch activities often, and they need to MOVE! You can use these cards to give your young students those much needed brain

breaks in your private or group lessons.

Getting young students off the piano bench for a few minutes is not a waste of time, it will actually give you more focussed time that you can use for lesson activities. As soon as you see your student’s eyes start to wander, or see her hands start to fidget - that’s when you should

reach for your “Silliness Siestas”.

Look through the Silliness Siestas in this pack and you’ll find many of them teach valuable musical skills such as ear training, coordination or keyboard geography. Even more importantly, they’re FUN and students

will be excited to pick a random Silliness Siesta from the pack.

This pack is just a preview. If you want the full set of Silliness Siestas, the only place you can get them is by purchasing the Playing with

Preschoolers course by the Upbeat Piano Teachers.

Enjoy getting silly!
