Most piano tutors appear to be aimed at either nursery school children or at whizz kids rushing too quickly from section to section. This one is aimed at those who want to learn the piano at a steady pace. Even the best tutors tend to use over familiar repertoire - Mozart minuets Beethoven sonatinas and various Czerny exercises. My decision to write virtually all of the musical material in books 1 and 2 was not so much an ego trip as an attempt to lighten up the proceedings.
