Teachers' Choice Selected Piano Repertory & Studies 2023 & 2024
(Grades 1 to 8)
Edited and annotated by Josephine Koh
The latest of this series comprises popular choice pieces and alternative works from the ABRSM Piano Examination syllabi. These pieces have been specially selected for examination purposes and general repertoire study. Meticulously fingered and edited, the Teachers' Choice 2023 & 2024, just like the past series, offers teaching points and performance directions that help to develop technical assurance and stylistic awareness in the students. All works in Teachers' Choice are beautifully scored for comfort of reading. Beyond examinations, the series is enjoyed by music teachers who use the studies presented in each grade, for the development of specific technical skills in their students.
