Description
Book SynopsisLang Lang Piano Academy: Mastering the piano, Level 1 (approximately equivalent to Grade 1/Early Elementary) looks at techniques such as playing legato and staccato and the left hand.
Trade ReviewThe whole book is very user friendly and has a pleasingly personal touch, with messages from Lang Lang, several colour pictures of him playing and tips saying how he masters each technique. This is not a traditional A Dozen A Day type of technical book, it is more than that, linking exercises, repertoire and tips in one volume. I can see this being a very useful and effective book for my Grade 1 and 2 pupils – they probably will not even realise that it is about technique, and the 'Lang Lang effect’ may encourage and inspire them in an imaginative way.
