Music Through Time: Piano: Book 1 (Grades 1-2)

A collection of repertoire books of enjoyable, interesting, and stimulating material for use in the early stages of learning. The pieces in Book 1 are of around grades 1-2 standard and are in chronological order, with brief notes placing them in history. Review: A brilliant idea ... There is now no excuse for the music student to be ignorant of the march of time, and the choice of music here is well varied ... including the extra bonus of piano accompaniments which are playable by even the hamfisted ... these pieces are carefully chosen, well arranged, carefully printed in the OUP tradition, and get away from the usual run of tutorial backup material ... It's a great idea.
