This piano sheet music is suitable for young beginners and combines the basic elements of piano playing with Chester the Frog, who informs and entertains the student as they learn to play the piano. With the progressive learning of each page, reading music becomes as natural as reading words.

The pieces are stylistically diverse and include:

• Folk themes
• Excerpts from classical works
• Modern arrangements of traditional songs
• Blues
• New pieces

The student should be encouraged to compose their own music using the knowledge they have acquired so far, as well as through a free experimental approach. For guidance of the teacher and parent, there is an information area at the top of each page marked by Chester the Frog wearing a hat and robes. An introduction to accompanying music is provided for many of the pieces included in this literature. Two versions are provided for each accompaniment, the first for the teacher, the second simplified for a parent or friend.
