Easy Little Peppers is the second book in a series of five. Each book is filled with fun jazz pieces that can be used both as pedagogical studies and as repertoire pieces. 'Easy Little Peppers' is around Grade 2 standard and each of the pieces has been written with the young pianist in mind avoiding leaps that are difficult for small hands and incorporating relatively short lighthearted pieces.

from J. B. Duvernoy (Op. 276) and J. F. F. Burgmüller (Op. 100)-To make sure that practicing studies is fun and will lead systematically to success here are eleven newly arranged orchestral accompaniments for well-known piano studies by Duvernoy and Burgmüller. The accompaniments transform these humble pieces into miniature piano concertos that will delight beginners everywhere. The orchestral arrangements and piano reductions are the work of the pianist and arranger Gero Stöver. Piano teaching has made very great progress in recent years. Many piano teachers have their own ideas theories and experiences especially with regard to fingering and the use of the pedal. Nonetheless we have decided to add fingering to our revised newedition for experience has shown that many learners especially those encouraged by play-along Cd's want to play new pieces without their teacher's knowledge. The fingerings added in our volume will enable enthusiastic learners to prepare a piece without the aid of their teacher but without coming to grief with ill-considered spur-of-the-moment fingering combinations. The fingering added by Sabine Krüger lay no claim to absolute truth but are intended merely as suggestions.

Essential Exercises-Czerny has been underestimated as a composer of studies for a long time. In the meantime however his studies are used more and more in lessons because he is a real master in tackling technical and musical problems in concise exercises. Against the background of the discussion about practising ('How to practise in an efficient and targeted manner') Czerny's studies have gained in importance. As a consequence Schott has included the well-known cycle 100 leichte Übungsstücke op. 139 in its study series 'Essential Exercises' with fingerings and didactic information by Wilhelm Ohmen.

Easier Piano Pieces 19-Friedrich Burgmuller's op. 100 is his most noteworthy achievement not least because its pieces are much more than mere mechanical studies. Angelic Harmony is included in ABRSM Piano Grade 3 syllabus 2017-2018

These original solos are fun-to-play rhythmic and technic studies. Consideration is given to ease of fingering in both hands. To encourage note-reading, finger numbers are kept to a minimum. / Piano

I am always telling my non-piano playing students how important it is to work with (and internalize) the sounds that we live with all our lives as Jazz musicians. Coltrane spent years sitting at the piano and so should all of us!!! John Patitucci Berklee College of Music One thing about Andy?he is complete as can be and has been consistently so for years in both his teaching materials and playing. He is completely knowledgeable in such a way that when I play with him, I know he KNOWS!! Plus he is one of the smoothest and polished of players around. Great book?encyclopedic in content.

His way of playing and looking at chords inspires me as a drummer and his rhythm section partner to play things that are in turn inspiring to the rest of the band.

Long a fan of his playing, I have enjoyed this look behind the curtain at how Andy LaVerne formulated his signature style. One other thing -- any pianist, no matter his/her approach, will gain insight into what will surely be new and exciting musical directions.
