The Story Behind Keyboard Kingdom
"I love teaching and it brings me soo much joy to see the development of my students every time we have a session.
I had the idea to create a book when I was teaching an after school club as I was already teaching music material that I designed from scratch. I realised that at the end of every session the kids would feel energised and wanted to take what they learnt home and practice more.
Then the last straw was when I was teaching Marius and Zara at a 1-1 session and they were learning so quickly they pushed me to keep creating more material for them to learn. So I decided to write the book and use them as characters to assist students reading the book."
