Premier Piano Course: Performance 4 - Piano Book & Online Audio

Premier Piano Course: Performance 4 gives developing pianists a varied collection of repertoire designed to reinforce the musical and technical concepts introduced in the matching Lesson Book 4. Written by Dennis Alexander, Gayle Kowalchyk, E. L. Lancaster, Victoria McArthur and Martha Mier, it combines approachable pieces with performance tips and online audio for guided practice.

Repertoire That Reinforces Level 4 Skills

The music gradually incorporates triplets and sixteenth notes while supporting work with natural and harmonic minor scales in A and E minor, one-octave arpeggios and chord inversions. The repertoire is designed to strengthen the same concepts students are meeting in Premier Piano Course Lesson Book 4.

A Wide Range of Musical Styles

Students can explore lyrical ballads, rhythmic character pieces, jazz, boogie, ragtime and original classics. The variety keeps practice interesting while helping players develop a broader sense of style, phrasing and musical expression.

Online Audio for Practice

Recorded examples are available at both performance tempo and a slower practice tempo, giving students a useful reference for rhythm, interpretation and steady preparation between lessons.
