The Teacher's Handbook for Succeeding with the Masters(r) & The Festival Collection(r) is a guide that organizes the teaching sequence of repertoire by interweaving these two outstanding series together. Practice Strategies from Succeeding with the Masters(r) are applied to The Festival Collection(r) repertoire, thus making it possible for either series to be used as the core curriculum. Since both series (over 450 pieces), contain full-performance recordings, historical information, and composer biographies, the Teacher's Handbook provides teachers and students with a comprehensive literature-based curriculum.

About Succeeding with the Masters

Succeeding with the Masters is a series dedicated to the authentic keyboard works of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth-Century masters.
This series provides a complete and easily accessible method for learning and performing the works of the masters. Each book presents the works in historical perspective for the student, and provides the means and the motivation to play these pieces in the correct stylistic, musical, and technical manner. The easily understandable format of practice strategies and musical concepts make this series enjoyable for both students and teachers.

Succeeding with the Masters begins with late-elementary repertoire, continues through intermediate-level works and also includes a few early-advanced works. Upon completion of the series, students will be well prepared for the major keyboard works by the master composers of each era.
