Pianimals brings the ideas of The Craft of Piano Playing to the beginning pianist, combining effective, easy exercises with delightful compositions and enchanting illustrations. Treating the hand as a mini-body, the Pianimals exercises help it lie down, stand up, walk, run, and leap on the keyboard. Each exercise is linked to an animal who naturally moves in a similar manner, and compositions that transform a basic movement into music. Volume I covers lying down and standing.
The pupil's method has the music, short technical suggestions, and lavish illustrations. A more complete exploration of the exercises is found in the teachers' manual.
Pianimals is in pre-production and will be printed shortly. Pre-order it now and we will send you a pdf version which you can use until the print copy arrives.
