The textbook "Piano 1" by Manfred Schmitz is aimed at a wide audience, including children, teenagers, and adults who are either new to playing the piano or looking to return after a long break. It provides a solid foundation for beginners who wish to study independently, as well as for piano teachers seeking creative ideas for their lessons. The book not only promotes learning songs and pop music but also encourages improvisation and composing original music. Through the analysis of musical elements and their application, it fosters a deep understanding of music. The structure of the book allows learners to work purposefully according to their skill level, with Volume 2 offering additional exercises and theoretical content that can be used alongside Volume 1.
