Vol.1

'Klavier spielen – mein schönstes Hobby' is aimed at young people and adults who want to play music in their free time and look for an easily comprehensible, well thought-out educational manual.

H.-G. Heumann has gained the experience that success comes when learning is fun. He has therefore selected many well-known classical and pop music pieces as well as pieces from the opera, adding a audio recording as a perfect learning aid.

Further advantages: clear presentation of the subject matters in lessons – 'key finder' as initial aid in learning how to read music – mini-dictionary of music – tests (incl. solutions) to monitor the progress
