Summary of This Method
A must-have reference in instrumental pedagogy, Peter Wastall's award-winning series returns in revised and refreshed editions to support the new generation of musicians. The "Learn As You Play" method is designed to guide the student step by step, making each concept immediately useful and musical.
The content is organized into progressive units: each new challenge is presented with clear explanations, then put into practice through numerous targeted exercises (sight-reading, articulation, coordination, breath control) and graded concert pieces. This alternation between technique and repertoire encourages natural, motivating, and lasting learning, suitable for both individual lessons and self-study.
To enhance listening skills and autonomy, the book now comes with a recently recorded CD, including demonstration tracks as well as accompaniments (backing tracks) that allow working on timing and interpretation. Access to downloadable piano accompaniments complements the approach by offering a more "ensemble" playing experience, highly appreciated for preparing auditions, exams, and small performances.
