Art inspired engineering engineering influenced art and as both evolved at breakneck speed the finest amplifiers in the world were devised and refined on the British Isles. The symbiotic relationship born ofthis partnership produced the most powerful music ever known to mankind - a sound that still resonates today in the most literal sense possible.

The Young Pianist's Activity Book is designed to stimulate the imagination and arouse a questioning attitude. Finding out about musical sounds and exploring the notes of the keyboard of a piano or an electronic keyboard are made into a game a kind of musical treasure hunt. The young player is asked to discover things about the keyboard and the music; to write down observations using colours and to experiment with sound.There are short original pieces to play which also encourage a different approach to the development of technique i.e. the necessary physical freedom to move around the keyboard. There are also the author's adaptations of orchestral worksby famous composers. The story behind the music is featured in the 'Read and Colour' sections giving a more friendly approach to the great composer. Here too there are suggestions for further listening.The activity book is not meant as a substitute for the usual primer or books of graded pieces but to complement them. The material is useful for the development of aural ability and improvisation aspects which increasingly form part of or are options in the national graded piano and keyboard examinations. Some items may need the help of a teacher but others could be attempted between lessons according to the individual pupil.
