    Book SynopsisA piece a week. Piano Grade 1 is ideal to be used alongside the Improve your sight-reading! graded piano books to support and improve the reading skills so fundamental to successful sight-reading. These fun, short pieces are specifically written to be learnt one per week.Trade ReviewSo, just when you thought that Paul Harris has covered every possible music education angle, he comes up with something new; something you did not realise you needed. Improve your sight-reading! A piece a week is a collection of short-pieces designed to support and improve sight-reading by developing note-reading skills and hand-eye coordination….Of course, as thoughtful teachers, we know that our pupils can lose their sight-reading skills when they are focusing on grade exams or other pieces, and so we find easier pieces in order to keep these skills alive. However, this saves us the bother of searching…Yet again, Mr Harris has done the work so we don’t have to. Music Teacher Magazine, January 2016. Admirably fills a gap in the market for outstanding “quick study” material. A piece a week lives up to the excellent standards Paul Harris and Faber Music have previously set, and for which they are so well known. I would say that the series is a genuine “must have” for all piano teachers. Andrew Eales, Pianodao.com, January 2016.
