Easy Piano Pieces That Sound Complex. Sheet Music for Rusty Pianists

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 her motivate students, as well as interesting notes and funny incidents from her practice. More and more music lovers are returning to playing the piano after many years away, while some are just starting to play. What if your profession is not creative at all? What can adult enthusiasts expect in a lesson with a teacher? How to avoid mistakes when practicing alone? What music to play that is impressive yet accessible? On electronics or directly on the piano? Answers can be found in this collection, which includes works by outstanding composers along with entertaining stories from the daily life of a music teacher. You will peek behind the scenes of piano lessons for adults and will want to play the piano yourself — some again, and some for the first time. The collection is also intended for teachers, parents looking for beautiful, accessible classical repertoire for competitions or concerts; for home music-making. The simplest pieces assume familiarity with the instrument starting from the second year of study; each includes a breakdown of the main technical challenges. The final piece — a transcription for piano of F. Mendelssohn's romance — is published for the first time.
