Summary of This Method
This collection brings together 30 piano solos arranged for beginner and intermediate pianists, with a selection designed to vary styles and keep motivation high. You will find immediately recognizable themes, perfect for developing musicality while consolidating technical foundations: rhythmic regularity, articulation, dynamic control, and simple yet effective accompaniments.
On the classical music side, the program features essentials such as Clair de Lune (Debussy), Air From 'Water Music' (Handel), Für Elise (Beethoven), Gymnopédie No. 1 (Satie), and Largo from 'The New World' (Dvo?ák). Ideal pieces for working on tone, legato, and balance between melody and accompaniment.
The film music section adds a more "cinematic" color with As Time Goes By (Casablanca), Goldfinger (Goldfinger), Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), The Heart Asks Pleasure First (The Piano), and Moon River (Breakfast at Tiffany's). An excellent ground for refining rubato, transitions, and expressiveness.
For great standards and the jazz & blues universe, you will find notably All the Things You Are, Fly Me to the Moon, Stormy Weather, as well as Caravan, The Girl from Ipanema, Memphis Blues, and So What. Plenty to approach syncopated styles, typical accompaniments, and swing atmospheres with accessible arrangements. Finally, the pop and musicals section completes the palette with I Got You (I Feel Good), Waterloo, Wonderful Tonight, Rocket Man, and titles like Cabaret or The Music of the Night, for a current and rewarding piano repertoire.
