Piano students of Latin American heritage often do not relate to the folk tunes that most methods use because the majority of those melodies do not flow with the rhythm of the Spanish language. This method is based on melodies original to the Mexican culture. These children's songs flow more naturally with the language, and in accord with the Kodály method of music education, give a better foundation for teaching basic musical elements in a Spanish language culture. Coupled with constant work on sight-reading, this new method is a valuable tool for native Spanish speakers in learning to play the piano, and will serve as a helpful and interesting supplement to English speaking students. Muchas veces los alumnos de piano de herencia latina no se identifican con la música folklórica utilizado en los métodos de piano porque la mayoría de las melodías no fluyen con el ritmo del español. Este método está basado en melodías originales de la cultura mexicana. Estos cantos de niños fluyen con más naturalidad con el idioma, y de acuerdo al método Kodály de la educación musical, dan un mejor fundamento para la enseñanza de elementos musicales básicos en una cultura de habla hispana. Junto con un trabajo constante de la lectura a primera vista, este nuevo método es un instrumento valioso para que aquellos cuya lengua materna es el español aprendan a tocar el piano con más facilidad, y servirá como un suplemento benéfico e interesante a los estudiantes de habla inglesa.
