This keyboard package has been especially designed to offer a complete and graded package to class music teachers. The work is arranged in stages, from very easy, to moderately easy, to moderately demanding.

Assessment pages are included, and are linked to levels of difficulty, with statements of achievement at each level clearly set out in a box-grid form for the use of teacher and pupil.

All the very easy and easy pieces have been especially composed and/or arranged so as to be accessible to the beginner player. Some traditional and classical pieces have been included, along with many pieces in popular styles. All the pieces have been carefully selected and arranged so as to be appealing to the pupil of electronic keyboard. Style and tempo suggestions have been made, and these may be used flexibly at the discretion of the class teacher.

This keyboard resource is aimed particularly at pupils aged 11-13, although some of the more demanding pieces may be suitable for pupils aged 14-16.

The four levels of work offer a range of pieces with true progression built in. All pieces are note named for convenience, and may be played using single-fingers or full fingered chords as appropriate.

In addition to the main collection of pieces, the author has included a small collection of very easy and easy pieces for Christmas, which, it is hoped, will prove useful to teachers.
