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 is the best-selling series by the distinguished authors Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood, that has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Designed especially for the needs of the younger beginner and delightfully illustrated throughout, the series makes learning the piano an enjoyable experience for both pupil and teacher.

This Complete Edition combines Parts 1 and 2 in one book. Part 1 takes the young pianist step by step through the earliest stages of piano technique, leading to very easy pieces for hands together using a constant five-finger hand position in C major. Part 2 builds on these foundations by extending the compass of notes, introducing new rhythms, note values, chords and changes of hand position. Games and puzzles throughout give elementary theory a new lease of life, and children will love the rhymes, songs and Monkey Puzzles pages.


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.

Me and My Piano Duets book 2 comprises 16 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. They form part of the Me and My Piano Series by Dame Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood, with this second book containing a selection of easy, attractive duets for the young beginner.


Me and My Piano Animal Magic is a collection of essential daily exercises for the young pianist based on the classic studies of Czerny, Hanon, Philipp and Doynanyi. The technical points are imaginatively related to the characteristics of various animals, birds and insects. This book will transform dull practice routines into lively daily sessions! Originally published as a stand-alone book, it has now been brought in to the Me and My Piano Series within The Waterman/Harewood Series, the highly-acclaimed piano methods by Dame Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood.
