MS Look, Listen & Learn - Meet the Masters

Look, Listen & Learn - Meet the Masters is a companion book to the Look, Listen & Learn series of three instructional books that use songs, music puzzles and games to introduce beginning musicians to the basics of playing musical instruments and deepen their understanding of music.

Specifically, Meet the Masters offers well-known melodies arranged for solo instruments with piano accompaniment, arranged according to level of advancement (from easiest to hardest). It thus serves well as a complement to all three books in the series. The pages introduce students to music history and famous classical composers (from Tielman to Antonín Dvořák). The book also includes access to online audio files containing recordings of piano accompaniments to individual pieces.
