Classical Piano: Volume I - Early Elementary

This book provides a thoughtful and structured pathway for those starting their journey at the piano with a serious and deliberate approach. Rather than offering a quick and superficial path, the pieces in this book aim to provide a methodical progression that builds a strong foundation in piano technique while remaining enjoyable and engaging to play. To guide the student, fingerings are included for all pieces, with more detailed suggestions in the earlier sections. As the book progresses, fingerings become less frequent, encouraging students to develop their own understanding of efficient hand positioning and movement.
The book is divided into three parts, each with a specific focus:

1. The first part introduces pieces written exclusively in the G clef, allowing beginners to concentrate on developing coordination and familiarity with simple hand positions.
2. The second part bridges the gap by incorporating both the G and F clefs, with the hands playing in turns, preparing the student for more intricate interplay.
3. The final part presents simple yet full-fledged piano pieces that combine the G and F clefs, inviting the player to explore the expressive and dynamic capabilities of the instrument.

Through this structured approach, students will encounter a gradual increase in complexity, cultivating solid technique and musicality without feeling overwhelmed or disheartened. Each piece is crafted to challenge and inspire, ensuring that the process of learning remains pleasant and rewarding.
