(Educational Piano Library). Piano Practice Games presents imaginative ways to introduce pieces in Piano Lessons by coordinating technique, concepts, and creativity with the actual music in the Piano Lessons books. These preparation activities help focus learning by 'playing with' each lesson piece aurally, visually, and physically. Whether used in individual or group lessons, Piano Practice Games are all designed to make music. Many activities include accompaniments that can be added by the teacher or by using the CD or GM disk from the corresponding Piano Lessons book.
In this remarkable memoir, Anna Goldsworthy recalls her first steps towards a life in music, from childhood piano lessons with a local jazz muso to international success as a concert pianist. As she discovers passion and ambition, and confronts doubt and disappointment, she learns about much more than tone and technique. This is a story of the getting of wisdom, tender and bittersweet. With wit and affection, Goldsworthy captures the hopes and uncertainties of youth, the fear and exhilaration of performing, and the complex bonds between teacher and student. An unforgettable cast of characters joins her: her family; her friends and rivals; and her teacher, Mrs Sivan, who inspires and challenges her in equal measure, and who transforms what seems an impossible dream into something real and sustaining.
