Pianoworks Book 1 by Janet Bullard
Written especially for the older beginner, Pianoworks 1 explains all you need to know to get you started on the piano. It focuses on the traditional concept of learning to play from music but also includes hints on improvisation and playing by ear. At every stage there is an appealing and accessible range of pieces to play, from classical to modern in style, including a number of new pieces by the authors. New ideas are introduced at a steady pace, and examples and exercises reinforce learning and build confidence. There are useful notes on how to approach each piece, and the companion website contains recordings of all the pieces, accompaniments to play along with, demonstrations, and additional exercises. Pianoworks 1 can be used with a teacher or as a stand-alone resource.
Pianoworks is popular with students due to its clear, detailed explanation, logical progression, great (and grown-up) music choices, and excellent supplementary books. . Pianoworks offers a fast, no-nonsense approach to piano playing, with an emphasis on independent learning and solid notation reading . . . The quality of the music included in the Pianoworks series is undoubtedly one of the highlights that sets it apart from the alternatives. Alan Bullard is well-known as one of our top educational composers and arrangers; the calibre of his writing is fully on display here, while the contributions of Janet Bullard stand shoulder-to-shoulder in terms of their equally impressive quality . . . My adult students regularly comment on how much they enjoy playing these outstanding arrangements and pieces, which is of course SO important! * pianodao.com, January 2019 *
. . . a fine package designed to stimulate and train beginners from the age of about 13 upwards. It incorporates all sorts of music and is presented in an attractive, unpatronising and adult manner. The Bullards have exemplary credentials and I admire the way they have gone about this difficult task. * John York, Piano Sept 2007 *
Many, many thanks and congratulations on a superb publication - I`m thrilled to bits with it. * A piano teacher *
I have been looking for a good tutor for some time. This fits the bill and is excellent. I have been using a variety of adult books and none have been satisfactory. * A piano teacher *
Book 2 is in preparation and will certainly bring the student to an even higher level of performance if the present collection's interesting and challenging content is maintained. * Piano Professional, Summer 08 *
