Succeeding at the Piano Grade 1 - Helen Marlais

Grade 1 thoroughly reinforces all of the concepts and the six basic techniques from the Preparatory level.  New concepts include: melodic and harmonic intervals; tempo markings; quarter, half and whole rests; legato and staccato articulations; Treble C Position, G Position, D Position, and Bass G Position (starting a 4th below Bass C); musical form; half and whole steps; tonic and dominant; the natural sign; upbeats and accents; mp and mf  dynamics.
