A book that is a must for all Suzuki piano students and teachers. Selected and compiled from her articles in Suzuki World over six years. Mrs. Powell discusses: communication with parents, home practice, listening, imitative games, psychology, "Fred," developing technique, reading, using the metronome, transposition, dynamics, balance, phrasing, Baroque style, Classical style, and effective teaching. A book rich with ideas for better teaching and better learning. Highly recommended.

The selections are duet arrangements of the pieces in the original seven volumes of the Suzuki Piano School. This superb teaching tool is designed for use by Suzuki and traditional students and teachers as supplementary material, and will help the child better understand each selection musically, help motivate the student to review, serve as a model for improvisational skills, and add variety and fun to the learning situation. The cassette features only the accompaniments, not the original pieces.
