One of the most systematic and successful piano methods ever compiled. Volume 1 covers the elementary stages of study, including singing and picking out melodies, familiarisation with the keyboard and reading printed music.
This edition of The Russian School of Piano Playing is divided into three separate volumes. Book 1, which is in two volumes, contains the material from Part I and Part II of the original Book 1. Part I takes the average student to the end of the first year, and Part II covers the second year. Book 2 takes the student to a more advanced stage, leading him/her on to repertoire pieces.
