Ulrich Deppe

First concert pieces for piano. A playbook for the old and new piano primer. ‘’Keyboard jumps‘’ is a varied collection of piano pieces that are very suitable for a concert in the first year of lessons. The order of the pieces and the increasing level of difficulty is based on the first volume of the piano school ‘’The new piano primer‘’, making it a good addition to this, but also to other teaching materials. The colourful palette of works includes music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, compositions by Béla Bartók and Dmitri Kabalewski and modern pop ballads by Ulrich Deppe. All piano players are invited to discover the colourful world of music with curiosity and playfulness and to present one or two pieces to an audience.

A modern revision of the piano primer by Willy Schneider. The second volume of the new piano primer, like the first, offers a wide range of pieces from classical, romantic, new music and jazz, for two and four hands. Music that awakens the students' curiosity and desire to play and develops their musical understanding in various directions. Music theory knowledge is always taught in relation to the pieces, accompanied by entertaining and humorous illustrations. Many imaginative tasks offer students the opportunity to discover the world of the keyboard on their own. Content: - Burlesque (L. Mozart) - Schneider Polka (W. Schneider / U.

What lasts a long time is really good: Willy Schneider's ‘Piano Primer’ has been well-known and popular for half a century. The concept has therefore proved its worth and has been adopted, modernised and expanded in the ‘new piano primer’. Ulrich Deppe has utilised his many years of experience as a piano teacher to make the new edition, which will be published in two volumes, a versatile and creative introduction to piano playing. From the very beginning, there are interesting pieces in all styles, which can be learnt very easily with suitable preliminary exercises. Imaginative musical exercises encourage children to be bold in their own interpretation, so that the joy of making music is always at the forefront. Numerous colourful and humorous illustrations complete the ‘new piano primer’. Volume 1 of the ‘New piano primer’ contains 41 short piano pieces, including works by Mozart, Haydn and Bartók, folk songs, blues and rock music and a ragtime. The major and minor keys are played in the circle of fifths from C to A as well as note values up to the eighth note. A small excursion into the church keys offers a special incentive.
