"This innovative teaching method allowed
me to feel that I had actually grasped the fundamentals of playing
the piano. Since I had had no previous experience in playing the
piano, I was quite impressed that I had learned as much as I did
in such a short period of time. I would recommend this teaching
method to anyone who thinks that he or she cannot learn how to
play the piano."

but finding stimulating repertoire for two beginning pianists is
not so easy—until now. Anna's ten duets from Piano, Body
and Soul offer beautiful, sophisticated sounds to adventurous
pairs of players. This book/CD set is perfect for teachers seeking
duets for teens and adult beginners, lapsed pianists looking for
a fun and inspiring way to get back to the keyboard, and Piano,
Body and Soul students who need a second score for their piano
partners. (click

nail-biting experience; it can actually be fun!"
