Product Overview
Published by Willis. This is a sequentially graded, cohesive, and complete series of drills and performance pieces for students, plus teaching guides for teachers. The main thrust of the book dwells on: 1) Isolating and teaching the student's playing mechanisms (his fingers, wrists, hands, and ears, yes, mind, pulse, foot, and body) 2) Gradually integrating these playing mechanisms until they blend into cohesive practice 3) Developing basic keyboard musicianship by furnishing the student's mental, visual, aural, and tactile libraries with a commonly used pianistic vocabulary of keyboard patterns and shapes. There are many wonderful ideas here for piano teachers.
