ABRSM Core Classics Piano Book 4 Grades 4-5

ABRSM Core Classics Piano Book 4 Grades 4-5

Core Classics is a collection of seven books of music from the piano canon, selected and graded by leading educationalists. Drawn from ABRSM’s extensive back catalogue, each volume contains a rich selection of engaging pieces to form the backbone of any pianist’s repertoire. From Bach to Beethoven, Scarlatti to Schumann, this series includes an abundance of much-loved pieces. All pieces have been carefully selected to ensure that each book is nothing short of a ‘teacher’s toolkit’ – works that any teacher would want their pupils to learn as part of their musical journey. Each book is authoritatively graded, with pieces gradually increasing in difficulty throughout.
