My first piano book
(Book)

Following the success of "My First Classical Music Book," author Genevieve Helsby and illustrator Jason Chapman return with "My First Piano Book." Bursting with life and humour, this is a uniquely comprehensive introduction to the piano, designed first and foremost to inspire. Text and illustrations are so perfectly in tune with each other that every page is a treat to explore. With a cast of animal characters showing what they know (and what they don't!), this truly is both informative and great fun. Book and two CDs, with online music, and narration. Part 1: "Why is the Piano So Special?" How the piano works and sounds. 23 music tracks including: Bach - Prelude in C; Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21; Joplin - The Entertainer; Debussy - Clair de lune; Faure - Berceuse; John Cage - Perilous Night No. 6; Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1 Part 2: "How Do I Play It?" A clear introduction to playing the piano. Play along with 12 specially written pieces with "Guide Me" narration option
