My First Piano Book

My First Piano Book

Following the success of <i>My First Classical Music Book</i>, author Genevieve Helsby and illustrator Jason Chapman return with <i>My First Piano Book</i>. Bursting with life and humor, this is a uniquely comprehensive introduction to the piano, designed first and foremost to inspire. Text and illustrations are so perfectly in tune with each other that every page is a treat to explore. With a cast of animal characters showing what they know (and what they don't!), this truly is both informative and great fun. Book and two CDs, with online music, and narration.
