The Classical Piano Method is
ideal for adults and young
people looking to learn the
piano from scratch, or for
those returning to the piano
after a substantial break from
playing. You will learn
traditional, classic
technique, and will be
introduced to interesting,
varied and well-known
classical pieces right from
the outset. The method is
friendly and is carefully
designed to progress in small
manageable steps, beginning
with simple fingering patterns
and exercises, moving onto
some of the most beautiful
melodies and pieces from the
baroque, classical and
romantic eras: such as Ode to
Joy, Für Elise and the Blue
Danube Waltz.
The Method Book leads you
through a range of exercises,
repertoire pieces to learn,
theory checks, clear
instruction diagrams on
playing and technique, tips on
practicing, and composer
biographies. It also includes
a CD so you can listen to all
the pieces performed on a
grand piano by a concert
pianist, as well as some
additional accompanying parts
which you can use as play-
along tracks. Learning is made
interesting, informed and fun.
