Summary of This Book
Designed by David Neyrolles, this "absolute beginners" collection starts from a simple observation: the repertoire for piano four hands truly accessible to beginners is rare. Here, the notation is adapted to a still fragile technique and to solfĂšge in progress, while remaining enjoyable to play and rewarding to listen to. The goal is clear: to enable any young pianist to approach a four-hand piece from the very first lesson in a motivating and musical setting.
Playing in a duo changes the lesson dynamic: the student develops rhythmic stability, learns to breathe musically, to listen to the balance between the two parts, and to build a shared interpretation. The experience becomes collective, stimulating, and rewarding, whether playing with the teacher or another student. The very practical audio CD offers the possibility to hear each part separately in order to work more effectively on timing and coordination.
The program brings together essential melodies and famous themes, perfect to inspire the desire to play again: Au Clair De La Lune; London Bridge; Old MacDonald Had a Farm; Pachelbel's Canon; Brahms' Lullaby; La Cucaracha; Do Your Ears Hang Low?; Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring; Savez-Vous Planter Les Choux?; J'Ai Du Bon Tabac; Sur Le Pont D'Avignon; Oh, When The Saints Go Marching In; French Cancan; Il Ătait Un Petit Navire; Kalinka; Ode to Joy; La Traviata; Mexican Hat Dance; FĂŒr Elise; El Choclo; Symphony of the New World; Alouette; Oci Ciornie / Dark Eyes; Greensleeves; Silent Night; Monday Morning; Happy Birthday; Toreador; Chorus of the Bohemians and Matadors; The First NoĂ«l; The Entertainer; Ave Maria; El Condor Pasa.
