Chester's Piano Book: Number One

Chester’s Piano Book: Number One is the first instalment in a course of tutor books which moves written by Carol Barratt, an established world leader in music education both as a teacher and composer, and beautifully illustrated by Wendy Hollie.

Intended for the young beginner, this book teaches the basic elements of piano playing with Chester the Frog informing and entertaining the pupil as they learn. A guide at the top of each page informs the teacher or parent how best to use the exercises and present the lessons to their pupil. Soon learning to read music will become as natural as learning to read words!

The pieces are stylistically varied and include folk themes, extracts from the classics, modern arrangements of traditional nursery rhymes, blues and new pieces.
