Kawai Piano Prices: Essential Keyboard Repertoire, Vol. 5 (Requiring a Handspan of an Octave or Less) [Plastic Comb] Review

Essential Keyboard Repertoire, Vol. 5 [Plastic Comb]

This series offer a vast and variety selection of early to late intermediate repertoire. And again Maurice Hinson made a great selection to this series. There are many songs selection in each volume and they also arrange in 3 groups by skill level therefore it's worth the price. Also the plastic comb enable the book to lay flat open on my piano and convenience for using. But I suggested that the order of the songs should be improved in the next edition. Because they're arranged by the name of the composers not by the period. (You'll find Bartok song on the very first page) that make it difficult to find and search and also don't help the students to recognize which composers are in which period.

The editing is based on sound teaching principles to facilitate performance and study.
