All-in-One Complete Books A & B, Supplemental Songbooks, and Basic Skills Book Among New Releases

MILWAUKEE - Several outstanding new releases in the acclaimed Hal Leonard Student Piano Library will make their debut at Summer NAMM.

All-In-One Piano Lessons Books A and B combine selected pages from the Piano Lessons, Technique, Solos, Theory Workbook, and Practice Games into one easy-to-manage book. A perfect choice for beginning group or private instruction, these book/CDs offer students a variety of styles and moods, and include Hal Leonard's "best ever" teacher accompaniments. The enhanced CDs work in any CD player, and also allow Mac and PC users to access MIDI files for each song. Upon completion of All-In-One Piano Lessons Book B, students will be ready to progress to Level 2 of the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library.

New in the method's Basic Skills series, Scales, Patterns and Improvs - Book 1 provides elementary-level students with a valuable resource for building technique through five-finger patterns, I-V7-I chords and arpeggios in all major and minor keys. Students can apply these basic skills through improvs and reading pieces in every key. The accompanying MIDI-enhanced CD provides more than 95 orchestrations for all of the exercises.

In the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Popular Songs series, Contemporary Movie Hits features favorites from six blockbusters arranged for intermediate-level piano solo. Among the offerings is the highly requested "Bella's Lullaby" from Twilight. Current Hits in this series contains seven top tunes by artists such as Coldplay, Daughtry and Leona Lewis arranged as intermediate solos: Apologize * Bleeding Love * Bubbly * Love Song * No One * Viva La Vida * What About Now.

Traditional Hymns, Book 1 in the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Adult Piano Method offers exciting supplementary material in brand new arrangements of 16 sacred favorites: All Glory, Laud and Honor * Come, Thou Almighty King * For the Beauty of the Earth * It Is Well with My Soul * A Mighty Fortress Is Our God * What a Friend We Have in Jesus * and more. The CD features orchestrated accompaniments at practice and performance tempos; it is playable on any CD player, and also enhanced so Mac and PC users can access MIDI files for each song.
