How to use: First, flip through the book to get familiar with the different musical styles in each category. Start with the pieces that catch your interest. Play along with the recordings to improve your rhythm and style. You can also practice with a metronome to keep a steady tempo. Remember to start slowly and gradually increase your speed as you get more comfortable. When you're playing a piece, try to feel the mood of the music and express it through your playing. Attention: Keep your fingers relaxed and use the correct hand position to avoid fatigue. Make sure your piano is in good tune before you start practicing. Maintenance advice: Store the book in a dry place to prevent it from getting damaged. If you spill something on the book, quickly wipe it off with a dry cloth. And take good care of your piano by having it serviced regularly.
