Piano Lessons (Hal Leonard Student Piano Library) ** Edited by Barbara Kreader, Fred Kern, and Phillip Keveren. For piano. Hal Leonard Student Piano Library. Instructional and Method. Book 4. Instructional book. Standard notation. 48 pages. Published by Hal Leonard.

Book 4 expands on the related five-finger patterns learned in Book 3 to introduce the scales of C Major, A Minor, G Major, and E Minor. Chord progressions in close position are also presented in each of these keys. Syncopated rhythms, syncopated pedaling and opposing articulations between the hands create performances with style, color, and texture.
