The educational concept of the Piano Kids Piano School, which results from the interplay of textbooks and supplementary action books, is now supplemented by textbooks adapted to the school volumes.
The first audition book begins with a few four-handed pieces that will quickly motivate the beginners without overtaxing them. All pieces are limited to the five-tone space, but cover the entire stylistic spectrum: from folk melodies such as Der Kuckuck und der Esel, to light classical pieces by composers such as Gurlitt, Türk or Bartók, to modern compositions from the fields of pop, rock and jazz.
