Why not go straight to the classics to improve your piano skills? These arrangements take significant creations and make them accessible for young pianists. Pieces are transposed into simple keys, span 1-2 pages, typically emphasize the treble line while a simple bass line underscores the whole. Bindings easily lay flat. Vol 1 includes 83 renditions of famous pieces from Bach to Verdi. Vol 2 includes 5 duets (including Chopsticks and Fur Elise), with 52 selections ranging from Bach to Gavote. Each selection includes a small intro to the music or its style. To develop that listening ear, download the free MP3 downloads available on the publisher website. While a sufficient beginner challenge, these will encourage pianists to learn the originals. ~ Ruth
