Howard Kasschau Piano Course - Book 3: Step by Step Mastery of the Piano

Howard Kasschau Piano Course - Book 3 continues the G. Schirmer piano method with a stronger focus on technique, independence and musical control. This revised edition develops skills introduced in Books 1 and 2 while preparing advancing students for more expressive and stylistically varied repertoire.

Developing Technique Through Real Repertoire

Book 3 introduces ornamentation, greater independence between the hands, combined touches within one hand, contrapuntal playing and the development of speed. Technical notes and studies support the repertoire so students can connect each new skill directly with musical application.

Wide Range of Musical Styles

The book includes material associated with composers and traditions ranging from Bach, Handel, Mozart and Chopin through to Bartok, Kabalevsky and Prokofiev. Selections include Greensleeves, The Irish Washerwoman, Prelude in A Major, Op. 28 No. 7, sonatinas, dances, preludes and character pieces.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for progressing piano students who have completed the earlier Kasschau books or players working at a similar level who need structured technical development supported by classical repertoire.

Our Take

This is where the Kasschau course starts to move beyond basic coordination and into more serious musical control. The repertoire is varied enough to keep lessons interesting while each piece has a clear technical purpose.
