A book that is a must for all Suzuki piano students and teachers. Selected and compiled from her articles in Suzuki World over six years. Mrs. Powell discusses: communication with parents, home practice, listening, imitative games, psychology, "Fred," developing technique, reading, using the metronome, transposition, dynamics, balance, phrasing, Baroque style, Classical style, and effective teaching. A book rich with ideas for better teaching and better learning. Highly recommended.
