Classical Piano Method - Book 1 (Book and CD) 📚📀

A Comprehensive Method Book for Both Young Beginners & Adults Looking to Learn the Piano From Scratch

This comprehensive method book, authored by renowned piano pedagogue Hans-Gunter Heumann, is perfect for both young beginners and adults venturing to learn the piano from scratch or returning to it after a hiatus. Utilising classical music as a foundation, the method introduces a diverse selection of well-known pieces from various eras right from the beginning.

With two carefully designed method books progressing in manageable steps, learners start with simple exercises and advance to iconic melodies like the Ode to Joy, Für Elise, and the Blue Danube Waltz. Through a blend of exercises, repertoire pieces, theory checks, practice tips, and composer biographies, the learning journey becomes engaging and enjoyable.

Additionally, four supplementary volumes provide further material to aid learners at each stage of development, including pieces for solo piano or piano duet. Accompanying the method books and duet collections are recordings of all pieces performed on a grand piano by a professional concert pianist, along with additional accompaniments for play-along tracks. 104 pages.
