Wonderful intro to Classcs

By Helen Mayer - December 25, 2012

I really like using this book for my newly intermediate piano students who are just beyond elementary, and give it as a gift regularly. The students can practice these themes for recital that come from operas and ballet suites that we can study, and are familiar to their parents. The parents love that their children are learning "tunes" they recognize, and I find that encourages them to make sure their kids get adequate practice time.

Great book

My daughter is just entering level 3 piano work and has very much enjoyed this book. She has already played several songs, and we love the arrangements.
