Much of what is discussed in the world of piano pedagogy is targeted at our youngest students. Trevor and I are guilty of this too… take a look back at many of our Teach Piano Today posts and you will find no shortage of piano teaching ideas for kids under the age of ten.
It’s not that we’ve been ignoring teens. Certainly, almost half of the music we compose is targeted toward teen piano students. But teachers with pre-teens, teens, and adults also need advice, ideas and printables to accompany this music.
This is why we’re thrilled to introduce the WunderKeys Piano For Teens Facebook group by Teach Piano Today: a community where we will be showcasing our teen music, sharing free piano printables and collaborating with other piano teachers with advice for teaching tweens and teens.
Many of you are probably very familiar with our WunderKeys Preschool and Primer method books and are probably already a member of the Wunderkeys Teacher’s Facebook Group.
And now we’re getting ready to bring the creativity and originality that people associate with WunderKeys to the world of teen piano music.
We’d love for you to join the WunderKeys Teen Piano Music Facebook Group by clicking here or on the image below. Oh… and we have a little “welcome to the group gift” – the sheet music that you can hear in the video at the bottom of this post.
Our Facebook Groups are happy piano teaching places where community members are quick to offer positive suggestions and share their successes. Join our new WunderKeys Piano Music For Teens group and you’ll have instant access to our uber-popular intermediate piano solo, “Wolf” (listen below). Inspired by the story of Little Red Riding Hood this dramatic piece will keep your teens on the edge of their bench until the dramatic finale!
P. S. And while you’re joining Facebook Groups don’t forget to join WunderKeys For Piano Teachers where over 4500 members help to make teaching preschool and primer students delightful 🙂

This is fantastic! I’m excited to join! I have a student coming today who chose this book as his summer project book. Can’t wait to hear which pieces he has been working on! I have another student who is working on “The Awakening” from the Pop Waltz book in preparation for an upcoming piano competition. Thank you for writing this awesome music for our tweens and teens!
Andrea says
So glad to hear they are excited about the music and that you’re enjoying teaching it! Honoured that the PopWaltz music will be in a piano competition too! 🙂 Thanks for your support, Denise!

I am soo excited about this FB Page!! I find for myself, that this is the trickiest group for me, be them older beginners, or even those playing for a while. Thank you!
Andrea says
Hi Mary! We’re looking forward to growing this space into a place you can go for instant teen motivation 🙂
Sharon Clarke says
This is great! I’m finding that the hardest group to find music for and to keep motivated is the tween or teen who is a beginner. I hope to get some guidance and ideas from this new FB group! Thank you!
Kelly says
I love you guys. Can’t wait for this. I have really unnatural anxiety about teaching teens, and my SON is a 14 year old. I feel so un-cool. You guys are gonna rock my world with this stuff!
Anna says
Yay! Thank you for starting this group. It makes teaching music that much more fun and exciting for students and teachers!
Andrea says
Hi Anna – Glad to have you in the group! We hope you enjoy being a member 🙂

Just to clarify. Wunderkeys is the name of your preschool approach to piano. Is Wunderkeys for Teens for beginner teens? Or will it be marketed to all levels of teen students?
