Primer A: from the first lesson to legato and staccato

Primer B: from dynamics to scales and broken chords

Level 1: from hands-together to Elementary Level

Ms Roskell's book demonstrates that she has a profound understanding of the obstacle--- technical, musical, physiological, or psychological---encountered by pianists of any age, and an ability to express that understanding in logical terms. I wish I had had access to her book when I was younger.

- Peter Donohoe CBE, writing about Penelope Roskell's The Complete Pianist
