Get Set! Piano Pieces Book 1
An exciting new collection of pieces by Heather Hammond and Karen Marshall, arranged and written specially for the twenty-first century child.
Following and supplementing the tried and tested progression of Get Set! Piano Tutor Book 1, it includes favourites like:
• Alice the camel
• Little bird
• Hot cross buns
• We wish you a Merry Christmas
There are also lots of engaging new pieces from jigs to jazz, featuring wriggly caterpillars, scary pirates and other imaginative characters. Many of the pieces have straightforward teacher duet parts to encourage ensemble playing from the start.
