Classics from the past 300 years including from the various music genres of the past century. Book only.
Edited by New Zealand born and now Australian based Elissa Milne, this book is perfect supplementary material for the student at about grade one level. (The grading for this series is usually about half a grade harder than the difficulty levels you might be used to in the ABRSM and Trinity exams.)
The New Mix versions in the "Getting To" series are a very well chosen mixture of 'classical' pieces along with a variety of modern styles such as blues, movie themes, Latin etc.
