Megabrill, as the Brits would say!

The pieces are so good, the backing tracks are amazing, and my students are so excited to play these pieces! I'm excited to collect an entire library of this series for my students.

This book is just what I’ve been looking for- the adolescents I teach don’t want to practice at home on their assigned written music, but these pieces are so cool they can’t help themselves: getting to listen to the piece as often as they want (aural learners); getting to play with an online band (group experience); adjusting the tempo as needed to slower or faster (for accuracy); watching the video(visual learners)- showing off their skill to their peers (proud pianists) are just a small part of what makes this book and others in the series (Pop- Jazz- etc) work so well for this generation of music makers-From the front page to the last, this book draws attention to itself and demands to be played- Confession: as a 75 year old teacher, every piece in this music book is addictive - even to me 😉🎶🎹🎵
