Pianoworks is written especially for the older beginner - or anyone who prefers a more adult approach to learning. The books will help you to develop the skills to play in a range of styles,
including classical, folk, and pop. The attractive easy pieces range from the great works of the past to the music of today. Written especially for the older beginner, Pianoworks 1 explains all you
need to know to get you started on the piano. It focuses on the traditional concept of learning to play from music but also includes hints on improvisation and playing by ear. At every stage there is
an appealing and accessible range of pieces to play, from classical to modern in style, including a number of new pieces by the authors. New ideas are introduced at a steady pace, and examples and
exercises reinforce learning and build confidence. There are useful notes on how to approach each piece, and a CD contains performances of all the pieces, accompaniments to play along with,
demonstrations, and additional exercises. Pianoworks 1 can be used with a teacher or as a stand-alone resource.

- 'The actual teaching book costs £9.95 and comes with a CD of example performances and backing tracks. Couple this with a beautiful repertoire book at only £6.95 and you have a fine package
designed to stimulate and train beginners from the age of about 13 upwards. It incorporates all sorts of music and is presented in an attractive, unpatronising and adult manner. The Bullards have
exemplary credentials and I admire the way they have gone about this difficult task.' John York, Piano Sept 2007

bits with it.' A piano teacher

A piano teacher
- 'The book's progression is systematic and easy to understand, the layout is neat, and the music is never dull. There is also an enclosed CD that includes 99 tracks consisting of a
recording of every piece, a duet accompaniment for the easier pieces and some rhythm exercises, all of which were recorded on a digital keyboard.' Pianist, October 07
