Summary of This Method
This progressive repertoire series is aimed at pianists in training who wish to build a solid foundation while playing "real" works from the classical repertoire. The approach is clear: to offer a consistent increase in difficulty so that sight-reading, hand independence, articulation, and musicality develop smoothly, from the first pages to intermediate-level pieces. The pieces, drawn from the standard classical literature, have been chosen for their pedagogical value as well as their musical appeal, ensuring that the student keeps the joy of playing at the heart of their learning.
The CD provided with each volume becomes a true working tool. It helps develop the ear and stylistic knowledge, refines the sense of tempo, dynamics, and phrasing, and assists the student in better understanding the expected sound balance at the piano. It is also an excellent support for lessons, whether preparing for an audition, establishing an effective practice routine, or simply gaining confidence through a reliable listening reference.
The series is associated with pianist Kim O'Reilly Newman, holder of a Master of Music from the University of Illinois. An active performer in North America and Europe, she has notably played with the Hambro Quartet of Pianos and has also worked as an editor and recording pianist. Her artistic and personal journey has led her to specialize in left-hand music interpretation, a sensitivity that fosters a demanding and inspiring vision of piano practice.
