At the zoo

The piano is very welcome in the zoo. But you don't need to be a keyboard lion for this little collection. Antelope, reindeer, elephant, they are all there and gather around the young pianists. While the kangaroo dares to make lively leaps, the bear moves in a leisurely maestoso and with well-placed steps, the crocodile is better at legato and the beaver amazes with its nimble gnawing technique. On the back of the pony, small staccato steps make quick progress and many a grasshopper sets its own accents.

The special technical task for piano students, which each piece carries within itself, is learned in this charming way in a playful and almost imperceptible way. Nothing is reminiscent of a dry etude. In addition, the character of the music is also communicated through the colorful illustrations by Marcin Bruchnalski.
