FIRST STEPS IN PIANO

This collection is designed to introduce all elements that are required to play the piano- learning where the notes are on the keyboard, how to read music and basic technique to control the fingers. The book is divided up into sections that focus on each element in turn. The aim is to use each section as required, alternating between them, rather than working through the book from start to finish. Towards the back of the book there are pages of blank manuscript paper for either first experiments with composition, theory lessons or any other use to help with lessons. There are also some reference sheets, with note names, time values and score information in case you forget. Most students who have completed this course of study have successfully mastered the ABRSM grade one and two piano exams. To accompany this book, Scales and Arpeggios made Easy for the Piano is also available.
