CATEGORY: Piano - Alfred's Group Piano for Adults
FORMAT: Book & CD-ROM
EDITION: 2nd
The Second Edition of Alfred's Group Piano for Adults, Book 1, includes updates inspired by numerous recommendations from group piano teachers and students. This book includes a CD-ROM containing both Audio and General MIDI Files of the 500+ accompaniments included in the text, each with an interesting and engaging arrangement coupled with the piano part. Designed for collegiate non-keyboard music majors with little or no keyboard experience, the easy-to-use text contains 26 units, each intended to be covered in one week, thus fulfilling two semesters or three quarters of study. Theory, technique, sight-reading, repertoire, harmonization, improvisation and ensemble activities are taught thoroughly and consistently throughout the text. Book 1 is 360 pages.

An excellant continuation of this excellant and fresh new Method Series. The pieces are varied and lean to a jazzy or "popular ballad" style which will appeal to contemporary students. Notwithstanding, the clear, sound pedagogical approach, clean print and format and appealing pieces will prepare students for any style of music since the jazzy pieces are excellant for rhythmic precision and understanding, the Waltzes and Ballads for legato and expressive playing and the one early Rondo introduces a different more classically oriented style and articulation. Level 3 also introduces the pedal thoughtfully and it is generally well placed to enhance the music, not smear the line!

This is a great book that explains how to get the most from your All Wheel Drive (as opposed to 4wd)vehicle. It is not just for racing enthusiasts as it also includes information on how to best set up your car for road use in general. Although somewhat dated, it is well worth reading for anyone from a beginner through to an All Wheel Drive enthusiast or anyone interested in rally and motorsport in general. My advise would be to buy this book, then push the publishers to put it back into print with revisions.
