This volume is a traditional piano school, but it is designed with notation for left-handers, meaning the keyboard is mirrored. Children play the melody with the left hand and primarily accompany with the right hand, all mirrored compared to the right-handed piano system. The primary goal is for children to have fun while playing the piano. Left-handers have the same opportunities as right-handers to fully utilize and demonstrate their potential. It's crucial that left-handers receive the complete package: a mirrored keyboard and corresponding notation, allowing them to play in a way that is natural for their hands.
This first volume is designed for beginners and those re-learning piano technique. The exercises are structured similarly to those in right-handed piano schools, imparting a sense of melody, technique, and rhythm to the student. Naturally, this book is also suitable for right-handed pianists who wish to re-train.
The book contains both technical exercises and performance pieces, progressively increasing in difficulty. Initially, the student plays mostly simple folk and children's songs, progressing to more challenging pieces later on. The repertoire includes compositions from Bach to Schumann, as well as original compositions by the Loso family.
