Me and My Piano is the best-selling series by the distinguished
authors Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood, that has sold over 2
million copies worldwide. Designed especially for the needs of the
younger beginner and delightfully illustrated throughout, the
series makes learning the piano an enjoyable experience for both
pupil and teacher. This Complete Edition combines Parts 1 and 2 in
one book. Part 1 takes the young pianist step by step through the
earliest stages of piano technique, leading to very easy pieces for
hands together using a constant five-finger hand position in C
major. Part 2 builds on these foundations by extending the compass
of notes, introducing new rhythms, note values, chords and changes
of hand position. Games and puzzles throughout give elementary
theory a new lease of life, and children will love the rhymes,
songs and Monkey Puzzles pages.
Developed by the superstar pianist Lang Lang and channelling his
passion for piano and music education, The Lang Lang Piano Method
reflects the way he would like kids today to learn piano. This is a
fun, modern and easy piano method ideal for complete beginners from
age 5 upwards. The five progressive books in the series provide a
unique and imaginative way for kids to learn the piano with a
cartoon superhero Lang Lang. The Lang Lang Piano Method Level 1
introduces complete beginners to different five-finger positions,
note reading and moving around the keyboard. Fun, imaginative
pieces develop the left and right hands equally right from the
start, and supporting audio features exclusive performances by Lang
Lang of the concert pieces. Musicianship is developed through
theory pages and listening to exclusive performances by Lang Lang
of piano classics for children. "I've written The Lang Lang Piano
Method to inspire today's kids with my passion for the piano." Lang

CD-ROM)
This book sets out a contemporary perspective on music education,
highlighting complex intersections between informal, non-formal and
formal practices and contexts. At a time when the boundaries
between music learning and participation are increasingly blurred,
this volume is distinctive in challenging a 'siloed' approach to
understanding the diverse international music education landscape.
Instead, the book proposes a multi-layered continuum of practices
that can be applied across a range of formal, informal or
non-formal concepts to support the development of musical possible
selves. It challenges existing conceptions of learning in music
education in part by drawing on research in adult learning, but
also by considering the contexts in which learning takes place, and
the extent to which this learning can be classified as formal,
informal or non-formal.
Each piece in the Solo Books coordinates page-by-page with the
Lesson Books, reinforcing newly learned concepts presented at the
lesson. Includes adorable full-color illustrations that enhance
each piece.
