Piano Lessons With Papa Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was unique among the great composers in many ways.

Not only did he teach his family music and harpsichord, but several of his sons became famous composers in their own right.

Bach’s teaching method for the keyboard was valuable in that it gives us insight into a great master’s view of children at the piano.

Most of Bach great teaching pieces, the most famous of which is the Minuet in G (remember the Diana Ross version?) were written expressly for his children and appear in a volume called Anna Magdalena’s Notebook.
