Summary of This Method
This complete edition of Accent On Solos brings together 33 teaching pieces by William Gillock, taken from the three books in the series. The concept is simple and effective: to offer short piano pieces that are immediately evocative, inspiring the desire to play while reinforcing technical fundamentals. Each piece becomes a small sound painting, perfect for enriching weekly practice without increasing the reading load.
Throughout the pages, the student explores contrasting moods and styles (dance, character miniatures, folkloric nods), with clear writing adapted to beginner hands. This collection is particularly relevant for working on touch quality, rhythmic precision, articulations, dynamics, and coordination, while establishing good sight-reading habits. An excellent choice for building a motivating beginner piano repertoire to play in lessons, recitals, or at home.
