WunderKeys Rock Repertoire For Teen Beginners: Piano Pieces In The C 5-Finger Scale | With Teacher Duets

This book (and book 2) has given myself, my own children AND my piano students of all ages, hours of pleasure. Both major and minor tunes are lovely and so memorable that my students ask for their favourites by name according to their own mood. When I exclaim 'ah yes, I love that one too' we go on to have a fantastic duet moment that leaves them feeling musically inspired and "capable". And that is the beauty of this book, it's empowering! It's the only book I NEVER lend out. I am a huge fan of Andrea Dow's music for teens, her books and teen solos are, in a word, gorgeous.

I'm a fan of everything Wunderkeys and this Rock Repertoire is a must to have in your music collection as a Piano Teacher. I tried it with a student today and she totally loved it and can't wait to play more songs from the book.

Brilliant duet book for kids of all ages not just teens. The music sounds advanced when all put together and I genuinely enjoyed the lesson better. A lot of the pieces sound similar however and the students part can sound a bit boring at home on their own. Its great though for beginners who want to play pop music but havnt reached that level yet

Fab. Using with a returner teenage student who is too young for adult piano books and too old for younger books. So far she and i both love the book - ensemble and nice music defintiely are winners! Thanks Andrea and Trevor Dow! They have a fab website too - teachpiano today which is also fab!

Teen liked one or two songs good stop gap to have no e things to play

Excellent starter book which my teen is enjoying.

great book

Great book

Super aburrido, muy elemental incluso para principiantes nivel 1. No lo recomiendo para nada.

Love the Rock Repertoire books! Especially for my pre-teen students right now, who want more "grown-up" sounding music but aren't quite ready to tackle that level yet. These books allow me to teach important concepts, but what I love most is that the music keeps their attention and is easily mastered, so they come to lessons excited and motivated. I use these to supplement their method books, to bridge gaps in between levels if they need more repetition with certain concepts, and, now in this time of remote learning, as confidence building pieces they can complete without me sitting right next to them. These books are a go-to for me now. Every single piece in them is valuable. Every. Single. Piece.

Love this series of books so much. We have four Wunderkeys books now and they're all great! Played the first duet with my 11 year old and he said "It really sounds like a song!".

As a piano teacher I'm always on the hunt for new books and I was really glad to find this one. This book has been enjoyed by my older beginners including adults, and is also great to use for sight reading exercises. The student part is very simple, using basic note reading (in one position) and note values, but the addition of a well written duet part is fantastic, and keeps students happy and engaged. Particularly for adult students who can get a little bit antsy in the early days, this collection can give a sense of accomplishment which makes them (and me!) happy. Students can go to the website and access the accompaniment parts online - unlike other books/tutor systems this is not app based, just mp3 stream/download which makes it very accessible. There are also a few youtube demonstrations of the pieces. General info for other piano teachers: Can be used within a few weeks of learning once basic note reading is covered, includes hands separate pieces to ones with simple two note chords and very simple hands together. Only crotchet to semibreves used. Very little use of accidentals (mainly ef flat) and all the pieces are mostly 2 pages long with teacher and student parts on opposing pages. Highly recommend.

How do you want to make teens passionate about music if you-teacher are not having?! This book provides fun for all! Easy to sight-read accompaniments and great beginners pieces or also good to use as sight-reading exercises for late beginners! And it sounds amazing!
