PIANIMALS Vol 1 - From Lying to Standing
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.
