Contemporary Class Piano by Elyse Mach

Contemporary Class Piano by Elyse Mach

Contemporary Class Piano is designed for basic introduction to the piano courses, taken by non-music majors with no music background at all and by music majors with no piano experience. Piano pieces in the text include classical, folk, jazz, pop, and blues, providing a diversity bound to engage any beginner. In addition to classical repertoire, the text includes student-friendly contemporary pieces, with numerous examples and exercises that allow students to play with both hands early on. The text has been successful (it has consistently ranked 2nd or 3rd in the market through 5 editions since 1976) because of its richly diversified styles of repertoire and ensemble pieces and its abundance of creative materials, such as the 12-bar blues, pentatonic, and 20th-century improvisations.
