Teachers can use it as a supplemental repertoire book, and parents can use it to support structured, successful home practice.
What Makes This Book Easy for Kids to Learn?
The book is designed specifically with children and beginners in mind. Extra-large notes and spacious staves make reading music less intimidating and easier on young eyes. Simplified arrangements keep hand positions comfortable and patterns logical, so students can focus on steady rhythm and confident playing.

The solos are carefully arranged to preserve the character of beloved classical themes while keeping the notes, rhythms, and hand coordination accessible for first- and second-year students. The result is a rich, age-appropriate introduction to the classical repertoire that builds both skills and music appreciation.
Are There Fun Extras Included?
Yes. The book includes online MP3 play-along recordings of every piece. Each recording is split with bass clef in the left channel and treble clef in the right channel, helping students hear and understand each hand’s part more clearly.
