Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Steps for the Young Pianist: A Graded Course of Instruction for the Pianoforte for Either Private or Class Work
It has been the purpose of the writer, in these books - and in other material especially prepared for the purpose of supplementing and providing for the special needs of each pupil to develop logically, and in a well-balanced manner, the pupil's capacity and ability to read music as readily as he would read a story or article written in a language with which he is familiar; to lay solid foundations in matters of technic, tone-shading, phrasing, and pedaling; to have developed equal facility in the use of all Major keys and all Minor keys; to bring the pupil through the Historical Notes and Anecdotes - into a closer intimacy with the development of the art of music and with the lives of great musicians; and, withal, to inspire him to desire, in his playing, not only mechanical accuracy, but also an expressive and artistic interpretation of good music.
