Welcome to Melody Piano

I had the privelage of receiving these amazing music books from published Composer, and musician Dror Perl recently.  

When new material is placed in front of my students, it is very normal for them to take the time to get acquainted with the score, and adjust to playing what I have provided them.  

As an instructor, I am constantly working to find new ways to engage my students, and keep it interesting for them.  

With the Sheer Piano collection, it was effortless.  My first student was able to ease right into the BLUE edition book, and stay connected and fluently play straight through 3 SONGS!  My jaw almost hit the floor.  

I think that I am mostly impressed with the quality of transitions and variety throughout these music books.  

Melody Piano gives Sheer Music's compositions a huge A+!  I would sincerely reccomend them to any musician that asked me.  I am very comfident that my students would say the same thing considering the fun they are having working with each new song!

I am not even finished with this book, and I highly reccomend it.  Some books are a one time read, but this book will be a constant reference that I will keep close at hand in the future. 

It covers a variety of different things.  There is a thurough, detailed history on all periods of piano literature.  It gives great examples of which pieces are best to play from each period.  It goes over piano in the Baroque Literature, the Classical Literature, The Romantic Literature, and in 20th Century Literature. 

One of my favorite things about this book is the index of composers that it holds from each of the previously stated periods.  With each listed in this index, it suggests which level pianist should be conquering this piece. 

The index of composers in just one of many indexes that this book holds.  It also holds an index of Music Publishers.  This index shows all published companies that provide music institutes, studios and conservitories with learning materials for their students.  Each musical institue usually works from one of these music publishing libraries editions.  For example,  Melody Piano's studio works from the "Alfred Publishing Company", and The "Liela Fletcher Publishing Company". 

I am happy to be able to share this piece of literature with you.  I highly suggest this book as a great read that you can keep in your studio for reference at all times.  I plan to do so in the future.  I am happy to report that Melody Piano's students are working from the pieces that suit their levels of literature for sight reading. 

Fellow colleagues, and musicians;  What book have you read lately that directly effected your studio performance as a whole, or your own performance and execution?
