Helen Marlais / edited by Helen Marlais

This book introduces basic rhythmic figures, dynamics, correct and healthy technique, notes in Middle C position and C position, reading from Guide Notes, basic intervals, and musical terms and symbols. The Tissue Box and Drip-Drop-Roll are two touch releases reinforced throughout the entire 2nd Edition. A cleaner look, easier student solos and teacher duets, simplified technique, and terrific motivational music build a solid musical foundation that instills love of piano playing. The CD allows students to hear piano music played well with correct phrasing, dynamics, and inflection.
