The next to the first edition of Alfred's Group Piano for Adults, maintains the clear organization and ease of use that characterized this subject since its inception, while expanding sight reading and harmonization, adding playing by way of ear and introducing scales and arpeggios at similar fingering groups.

Teachers of the next to the first edition will immediately observe that thirty units have been reduc to twenty-six, allowing more time for review and testing. couple chapters on modes are consolidated into the same and the assignment pages for learner notes are frequently shortened.

With a reduction in chapters, individual immediately asks, "Have my favorite items been deleted?" To allay those fears, and nothing else eight pages reduce the verse There still are forty-six solo repertoire works, with the one-third ratio of educational composer or arrangements (sixteen to be exact) maintained. Teachers may note that five pieces by the agency of Kabalevsky are removed, but will welcome the lesser-known works of Beyer, Schytte and Couperin in reading and solo sections. Before Playing and While Playing remarks now precede all solo repertoire, providing valuable practice and analysis guidelines and interpretive suggestions.



pair significant changes are the expansion and simplification of sight-reading examples along with additional harmonization exercises, with an emphasis upon more commonly used keys. Additionally, playing through ear sections have been added through every part of the text.

The introduction of scales has improved, now being spread between several chapters and introduced within fingering clumps With so many important changes, novel accompaniment disks have been created to again correlate to all the technical and musical examples in the verse The authors are to be congratulated for carefully consolidating portions of the paragraph to allow for the expansion of sight reading, harmonization, scales and playing by means of ear, while maintaining an calm balance of theory, technique, repertoire, improvisation and general impression activities that have made this body so popular.

Teacher's Handbook: There are pair significant additions to the inferior edition Teacher Handbook:

The how-to section, "Planning collection Lessons for College Non-Keyboard Majors," is a gold mine of succinct "tried-and-true" points that should be required reading for all piano pedagogy close examiners and will provide helpful reminders to seasoned classroom teachers.

Four revealed of the six sample touchstones include additional sight-reading and harmonization examples, now with three samples for each example Simply including additional test items makes the handbook worth buying. Reviewed at Barbara Fast, NCTM, Norman, Oklahoma.
