The piano music is taken from an extensive collection of children's songs, including American folk songs as well as folk songs from other countries, and game songs, . Each piece is carefully selected to provide both enjoyment and skill-building opportunities that result in music literacy. Each song has an illustrated color sheet that engages the student and makes the learning exciting.

The PLAY AND PLAY piano book is an excellent resource for piano teachers seeking to engage and motivate their students. By incorporating game songs, the book taps into the interest of learners, fostering enthusiasm and enjoyment in the learning process. Its structured approach, with clear instructions for both the games and the music, provides a solid foundation for beginners. The inclusion of game songs and activities encourages active participation and ensures that students stay focused and involved throughout the whole lesson.

By the end of the book the students will be reading Grand Staff, the syncopation rhythm pattern of single 8th, quarter, single 8th, dotted quarter and single 8th note, and 3/4 meter.
