Twenty _NINE_ themes
|
This slim volume has a nice card cover so should stand quite happily on your music stand.
All the italian terms are listed and defined in a preface.
Each piece is preceded by a short paragraph giving a little history of the piece or composer.
There is plenty of space around the staves for your own notes.
Only one piece spans more than two pages (and is the only piece that requires a page to be turned whilst playing), and that is both a slow piece and has "turn" marked in the score to remind players.
Overall an ideal book for beginners, or for sight reading practice by intermediate students.
The only thing missing is an assessment of the difficulty of the pieces (or a list roughly ordered by difficulty as appears in some other volumes of the "My First Book of..." series)

Extension for grade 1 +
|
|
This is a great book for those who have completed grade 1 piano exam. The ease of playing varies with each piece, we found that some could be used as sight reading exercise's where others then developed playing skills, some were then harder again to master.

This book is lovely for the starting pianist, simple yet not boring, great even for more experienced players. The "my first book" series are all great, i have about 15 of them, they range from christmas top jazz, they-re all great. oh and the price is marvellous!!
