Famous & Fun Classics, Book 1 - Early Elementary Piano

Famous & Fun Classics, Book 1 introduces early elementary piano students to famous themes from classical masterworks in accessible arrangements by Carol Matz. The pieces are drawn from symphonic, operatic and keyboard repertoire and are designed to give beginners the satisfaction of playing recognisable classical music within the first stages of piano study.

11 Appealing Classical Arrangements

The collection features well-known themes including Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann, Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, On Wings of Song, the overture to The Barber of Seville, themes from 1812 Overture, Swan Lake and The Moldau, and other familiar classical selections.

Designed for Early Elementary Players

The arrangements are carefully graded for beginners and can be used alongside virtually any piano method. Optional duet parts for a teacher or parent add a fuller sound and help students develop timing and ensemble awareness while enjoying the repertoire.

This is a great first classical supplement for young pianists. The melodies are instantly more engaging than anonymous exercises, while the simplified arrangements still reinforce reading, rhythm and musical phrasing.
