2112 Alfred’s Basic Piano Library Recital Book Level 1A P i a n o Willard A Palmer Morton Manus Amanda Vick Lethco Anhvanpiano Center Contact : 01222329969 Alfred's Basic Piano Library Piano Recital Book· Level lA This RECITAL BOOK may be begun when the student has reached JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS, on page 15 of LESSON BOOK 1A The pieces in this book are coordinated PAGE BY PAGE with the materials in the LESSON BOOK They should be assigned in accordance with the instructions in the upper right corner of each page of this book Under no circumstances should they be assigned sooner than these references indicate, although they may be assigned as review material at any time after the student has reached the page designated These pieces serve several important purposes: • They provide reinforcement for every principle and concept introduced in the lesson material (This is further reinforced through the use of the THEORY BOOK.) • They provide extra material for students who move faster than others in class work • They provide highly motivating solo material, particularly effective for use in student recitals The last pieces in this book may be assigned as the student progresses into LESSON BOOK 1B They will make the transition from book to book very smooth, especially since the first pages of 1B are concerned with reviewing the principles taught at 1A level A glance at the contents will show the great variety of selections included, some of which are intended as purely recreational while others are deliberately challenging Not every student should be required to learn them all, but any student who does so will find the time well spent and the results rewarding Call of the Horn, The Charlie, the Chimp!
