El Musigato Prepartorio

This induction method to the Piano, rich in attractive illustration, successfully combines a fun approach with technique. The rules of music are never forgotten but explained in simple, fluid language. Throughout this musical adventure, a cat is chosen to accompany the learner and explain aspects, which children would normally deem as 'boring', in an enjoyable, original and fun way. The author separates the rules, illustrating them as parts of the anatomy of music, leading to an understanding of the criteria which gives life to music and music practice when playing an instrument. This volume is self recommended for 'preparatory level' but could equally be used for elementary school pupils and beginners.
