Product Overview

The Exploring Piano Classics series pairs performance repertoire with focused technical studies. Each level has a Repertoire book and a companion Technique book, linked page by page. Used together, they build musicianship, performance practice, and technical ease at the keyboard.

Level 5 repertoire is drawn from festival, competition, and examination lists in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. That makes it a dependable source for recital, adjudication, and exam preparation. Each style period gets an introduction to its instruments, composers, and music, so students understand the context behind each piece.

The included CD features performances by Nancy Bachus, an Eastman School of Music graduate (M.M., Piano Performance and Literature) and an internationally known clinician. Her recordings model tempo, phrasing, and interpretation for every piece in the book.

• Students preparing for festivals, competitions, and graded piano exams
• Intermediate pianists moving from method books into authentic classical piano literature
