Easy Piano Pieces That Sound Complex

Professional educator, music blogger, and author of the educational website What to Play? Maria Sharova teaches piano in France, works extensively with adult amateurs, and shares music that helps motivate her students, as well as interesting notes and funny cases from her practice. More and more music lovers are returning to playing the piano after many years of absence, while some are just starting to play. And what if your profession is not creative at all? What can adult amateurs expect in a lesson with a teacher? How to avoid mistakes if practicing independently? What to play to sound impressive yet accessible? On the electronic keyboard or straight on the piano? The answers are in this collection, where alongside works by outstanding composers are fascinating stories from the daily life of a music teacher. You will get a glimpse behind the scenes of piano lessons for adults and will want to play the piano yourself - either again or for the first time. This collection is also intended for teachers and parents searching for beautiful, accessible classical repertoire for a competition or concert; for home music-making. The simplest pieces require mastery of the instrument starting from the second year of study; each is accompanied by an analysis of the main technical difficulties. The concluding piece - a transcription for piano of F. Mendelssohn's romance - is published for the first time.
