Catherine Rollin's fresh series, Pathways to Artistry, is designed to provide a systematic approach to the growth of basic technical skills for the early flush piano student. The series can be used as a continuation to the regular method or as an independent means for the student who has already attained basic reading skills. Each on a level consists of two books: Technique, in which basic conceptions and exercises are presented, and Repertoire, a collection of original compositions intended to reinforce each technical concept

Each Technique main division begins with a prelude (a summary of skills from previous books) and completions with a coda (a summary of this book) Page numbers are included for quick reference--a highly helpful feature for both teacher and scholar In between are six units that at hand basic technical skills. The material is carefully sequenc with clear explanations and short, simple exercises for each conception The first two units defend the basics of scale playing and other technical skills (overlapping pedal, wrist wheels portato, wrist staccato, trills and voicing). Unit 3 not aways major scales, triads and inversions, and chord progressions forward white-key tonics. Unit 4 continues the scale work of Unit 1 Unit 5 applies the skills at handed in Unit 2, and Unit 6 consists of etude combining the scales and other skills in all the white-key tonics. A page of simple definitions for major scales, chords and inversions appears at the end



The Repertoire work consists of fifteen late-elementary solo according to Rollin, which use the technical skills at handed at that level. The pieces are originaled loosely after well-known teaching pieces from the baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary eras, including a Clementi sonatina, Bach minuet, Burgmuller arabesque, Pachelbel canon and in this way on. These are intended to prepare learners for those pieces, while introducing basic constituents of style and form. Although mostly are fairly predictable, they would make effective etude and an are quite attractive, such as the American introduction in the style of Copland.
