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

Professional educator, music blogger, and author of the educational site "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 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 completely non-creative? What can adult amateurs expect in a lesson with a teacher? How to avoid mistakes when practicing independently? What to play that is impressive yet accessible? On electronics or straight on the piano? Answers are found in this collection, which includes works by outstanding composers along with entertaining stories from a music teacher's daily life. You will get a glimpse behind the scenes of piano lessons for adults and you’ll want to play the piano yourself - some will start again, and others for the first time. The collection is also intended for teachers and parents in search of beautiful, accessible classical repertoire for competitions or concerts; for home music-making. The simplest pieces expect mastery of the instrument from the second year of study; each piece is accompanied by an analysis of basic technical difficulties. The concluding piece - a transcription for piano of F. Mendelssohn's romance - is published for the first time.
