Piano for Beginner Adults. Life Hacks on Music Theory

The book "Piano for Beginner Adults. Life Hacks on Music Theory" will be useful for both music school students and adults who are beginner musicians, who are increasingly common. Many textbooks on music theory, aimed directly at a children's or school audience, seem either too complex or too simple for beginner adults, which leads to a chaotic understanding of music theory, lacking a foundation and turning into ear-playing. This guide contains important information on music theory, and includes many practical life hacks to make playing intentional and professional.
The exercises, helpful tips, or life hacks collected here effectively assist in mastering the notes of the treble and bass clefs.
Great attention is paid to the rhythmic aspect of music. Unlike similar guides, the rhythmic pattern is always written from a specific recurring sound, suggesting the performance of this rhythm on the piano. On one hand, the musician experiences a visual perception of rhythm alongside the notes, as the exercises encompass all seven notes of the first octave, and on the other hand, a complex elaborate melody does not distract from the rhythm. The educational manual covers a wide range of theoretical and practical questions, such as: detailed study of rhythmic patterns within the main time signatures, mastery of the bass clef and second octave, connecting hands from "simple to complex", and studying accompaniment.
The musical material on which the theory of music is studied is unusual: it consists of ancient, non-ordinary Slavic chants mainly from the collections of folk songs by N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, A. K. Lyadov, M. A. Balakirev, and N. N. Gilyarova.
A highlight of the book is the author's arrangements of well-known compositions, such as "Für Elise" and "Ode to Joy" by L. van Beethoven, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by E. Grieg, "Moscow Nights" by V. P. Soloviev-Sedoy, and many others.
