A Thousand Stories for a Little Pianist: a Creative Approach to Developing Students' Imaginations, Based on the Russian School of Piano Katrin Arefy

A Thousand Stories for a Little Pianist is the first piano book that allows young pianists to be creative and take part in the learning process. Stories, games, and colors are part of a child's daily life; using them this book brings the music into the children's world, rather than bringing the child into the music lesson. The origins of this method are in the treasures of the Russian school of piano and are specifically based on the teaching approach of Anna Artobolevskaya and Heinrich Neuhaus.
