Description :

This book is a compilation of timeless classics, simplified and aimed to build the skills, agility and tonal control of elementary pianists, in order to assist the transition into late elementary level. Theory exercises are included after each song, for the pianist to make a practical/theory connection. Creative activities are introduced as an early step into improvisation.
