Playing concertos is one of the most fulfilling experiences a student has during the early years of piano study; and playing ensemble music is indispensable to acquiring overall musicianship. This concerto in the classical style at the intermediate level is a perfect choice for piano students; particularly those who are excited about playing concertos by Mozart and Haydn in the future. Note: two copies are needed for performance.

BattagliaSorry - but I sent a very positive review of this item to you over two weeks ago!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good adviceBy JodyThe overall tone of this book is a bit off-putting and patronizing and Mr. Young is certainly proud of his work; but there are some gems scattered through the pages; so perhaps the tone is justified.It does contain some great tips on addressing specific problems; such as pauses in dialogue and actors who dont understand what theyre saying; and theres a nice appendix on working with children. Ive been using some of the charts it suggests in a production Im directing and theyve been invaluable in eliminating confusion and redundancy in costuming and choreography. This is a good reference book; but should not be your only one. Id also recommend Jorys Tips for Directors and Hausers On Directing and there are several good step-by-step books on directing and producing book plays and musicals.This would be a good book for someone beginning to think about directing a musical. If nothing else; its a clear illustration of the dedication and time involved; and if read correctly should warn off anyone not willing to be totally immersed in the theater for a couple of months. The tips are a bonus!
