Me and My Piano

by Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood

Published 30 September 1988
This is the second of two books by the distinguished authors of the "Waterman/Harewood Piano Series", designed specially for the needs of the younger beginner. Delightfully illustrated throughout, it builds on the foundations laid in Part 1 by extending the compass of the notes learnt, and by introducing new rhythms, note values, chords, and changes of hand position. As well as lively solo pieces, a sequence of delightful duets offers pupil and teacher an opportunity to make music together. Children will love the pages of Monkey Puzzles, together with rhymes and songs introducing characters such as Lady of Niger, the Grasshopper and the Elephant, and the Crooked Man. "Me and My Piano Part 2" aims to set the young pianist firmly on the road to success in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

Me and My Piano Duets book 1 comprises 20 pieces arranged for piano, which have interchangeable parts of equal difficulty so that the young pianist can play alongside a teacher, parent or another pupil, whilst others are intended for pupil/teacher performance. A lively and stimulating mixture of new and familiar material, drawn from many different countries.  This book is part of Dame Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood's Me and My Piano Series and these easy, attractive duets are designed to complement the progression of Me and My Piano Part 1 and Part 2.


This delightful book of first repertoire pieces builds on the solid technical and musical foundations established in the highly successful tutors "Me and My Piano Parts I and II", which it is designed to complement. Here is a wealth of new material, ranging from simple five-finger pieces for separate hands on C major, to more advanced pieces introducing changes of hand position, new notes and rhythms, simple chords, and the key signatures of G and F major. Enchantingly illustrated in full colour, this essential and irresistible book will encourage the young pianist to expand his or her repertoire in the most enjoyable way.
