Chester Music Barratt - Chester's Piano Book Number One Book for Piano

This piano book is for young beginner and combines the basic elements of piano playing with Chester the Frog informing and entertaining the pupil as he/she learns to play the piano. As you go through each page with the young pupil, learning to read music becomes as natural as learning to read words.

The pieces are stylistically varied and include folk themes, extracts from the classics, modern arrangements of traditional Nursery Rhymes, blues and new pieces.

The child should be encouraged to compose his/her own music using the knowledge acquired so far and also by free experimentation.

As a guide to the Teacher and Parent there is an area of information at the top of each page marked by Chester the Frog in a cap and gown. There is an insert of accompaniments provided for many of the pieces included in this book. Two versions are provided for each of the accompaniments, the first for the Teacher, the second simplified for Parent or Friend.

Chester's Piano Books are just part of a range of publications designed to make learning to play the piano fun.
