Hal Leonard American Popular Piano Etudes by Christopher Norton Level 7

This piano course, published by Novus Via Music Group and now distributed by Hal Leonard, offers eleven progressive levels. Each level has four books: repertoire, etudes, skills, and technic. Starting with a preparatory level for beginners, it covers ten years of study from levels 1 - 10. These books present a comprehensive curriculum in diverse musical styles. Students using this series will: develop traditional piano and musical skills through contemporary and popular music; get motivated to practice with familiar and fun tunes; nurture creativity through an easy - to - use modular approach to improvisation; and enjoy ensemble playing for a lifelong love of music. The Etudes Albums complement the Repertoire Album with classical and popular technical etudes and a revolutionary module - based improvisation method. PLU: HL13117

How to use: Start with the preparatory level if you're a first - year student. Work through each level systematically, using the four types of books together. For the etudes, practice regularly to improve your technical skills. The improvisation modules can be used to let your creativity flow. When playing with an ensemble, communicate well with other members. Note: Make sure to practice with a metronome to keep a steady rhythm. Don't rush through the levels; take your time to master each one. Maintenance: Keep your piano clean and tuned regularly. Store the books in a dry place to prevent damage.
