well I've been teaching piano since about half way through term 1, (which was about 17 weeks ago) and I want to get some sight reading and ear test books, as well as just books with good piano solos. I want something for a range of levels, so for sight reading Im thinking of something like the trinity series, which has one book for grades i - 4 i think.
Anyway, mainly for a book of easy, fun piano solos with a wide range of styles, what are some ideas? I know theres heaps of jazz, rags and blues books out there, but i was looking for something with a wide range of styles, (so i dont have to spend as much money :P)
a range of levels would be good, like grade 1 - 3, but a book just at a grade 3 or 4 level would be ok too. Modern stuff though, cause i have trinity exam books in most grades, and (mainly with the higher grades) im not taht bigger fan.
