(Educational Piano Library). From the very first lessons in Book 1; students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song . The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers; the black-key and white-key groups; and basic rhythm patterns. Directional reading is taught first by finger number; then by note name; and then by interval (stop; skip; and repeat). Once the students are introduced to the staff; they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read by interval in several different hand positions.

Review
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. To collaborate or not?By Paul GelmanThis is a very interesting book; which deconstructs the works of many famous artists who had been working in Nazi German during the years 1933-1945. There were ; of course; collaborators and those who were opposed to the brutal and murderous regime. Sometimes the reader gets the feeling that the author admires some of those artists; especially Leni Riefenstahl. Plus the fact that ; as previoulsy mentioned by others; there are some factual errors concerning Richard Strauss .However; the point made in this book shows very clearly that things were not black or white and there were some artists who to this day are controversial when passing a verdict of culpability on them. All in all; the author has done a very good job in explaining and discussing his subject.4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Artists in Nazi GermanyBy Michael DriscollSuperior analysis of the Nazi control of the arts and artists.Author also describes German Expressionism and the lengths they went to destroy this period.It was interesting to read about artists who collaborated and those who resistedThe chapter on Leni Reisenfahl was fascinating especially after seeing a documentary in which she clearly was prevaricating about her relationships with both Hitler and the upper echelon of the Nazi Propogada and Cultural Ministries3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Factual errors in the Strauss chapter...By Robert DevereauxMixed feelings so far. I too bought this primarily for information on Richard Strauss; though I will read with fascination the other chapters as well. Another error in the Strauss chapter (other than referencing a nonexistent Requiem; called out in another review) is that Die Liebe der Danae; a three-act opera; is referred to as a symphony. So; grains of salt shall be at hand for the rest of the book.
