Premier Piano Course, Lesson Book 3 is now available with a CD! Each piece on the CD was recorded at a performance tempo and a slower practice tempo. Level 3 students will be playing syncopated, dotted and swing rhythms with ease. Up-tempo, original pieces with clever twists smoothly incorporate new concepts including: pass-under and cross-over scale fingerings; the chromatic scale; IV chords in C, G, F, D; 1st and 2nd endings; and ledger lines above and below the staff. 48 pages.
I love this series of lesson books as they support the way I teach the best of any I've found. By this book I feel the student has the foundation they need and then I branamch out from there to other things. I find the pieces are mostly quite delightful, well-written and enjoyable to listen to.
