Guide to Learning Minuetto by James Hook, RCM PREP

June 11, 2015

 

 

Hi there!  Today’s piece is one I have taught a WHOLE BUNCH of times, because it’s a great tune, not ridiculously difficult for beginners, but still stretches one’s technical abilities.  It’s a preparatory-level piece titled Minuetto, composed by James Hook in his book Guida di Musica, a series of piano lessons, of which this one is lesson 2.  Enjoy!
