Teachers: Happy Tuesday!
For Piano Teachers: The Presto Piano Magic YouTube Video Playlists - The “Prestissima Videos”
Both Presto! It's Piano Magic Books 1 & 2 have videos on YouTube for every lesson, song, and piece in the books. You can use these videos to learn more about the material and get ideas for teaching strategies for teaching the curriculum. You can also play videos, or excerpts from the videos, for your students in their lessons. And you can also assign them to your students to watch at home, especially as a supplemental/special assignment when they request one for a missed lesson.
The playlists also contain backing tracks, which are great to play and practice along with, plus cartoons and multimedia videos we have created for some of the songs. These are useful as fun musical experiences in lessons, and also to help everyone learn and practice the songs.
Presto! It’s Piano Magic Book 1 YouTube Playlist
Presto! It’s Piano Magic Book 2 YouTube Playlist
We also have a Google slideshow that contains links to all the videos in a format that might be easier to use than the playlists. In addition, the slideshow offers recommendations for additional cartoons and other videos to supplement some of the songs and lessons.
This document can be found in the shared Google folder, Teacher Resources / Presto! Books & Materials / External Links Guide - Presto! It's Piano Magic Book 1. We are also working on a version of this for Book 2.
Let us know if you do not have access to the Teacher Resources folder or cannot find it.

Have a magical Tuesday, a musical week, and enjoy happy, healthy and tension-free teaching and learning with your students.
