IPractice
This book provides new practical tools that bridge the gap between familiar, easy-to-use technology and musical practice to enhance musicianship and motivate students. Authors Jennifer Mishra and Barbara Fast provide ideas for use with students of all levels, from beginners to musicians performing advanced repertoire. This book is written for teachers (both studio teachers and ensemble directors), but can be read by performers to help give new guidance to their own practice sessions. Some strategies in this book would not have been possible without advances in technology; others expand tried-and-true practice strategies with the use of technology.

Teaching Piano Pedagogy
Providing essential tools to transform college piano students into professional piano teachers, Courtney Crappell's Teaching Piano Pedagogy helps teachers develop pedagogy course curricula, design and facilitate practicum-teaching experiences, and guide research projects in piano pedagogy. The book grounds the reader in the history of the domain, investigates course materials, and explores unique methods to introduce students to course concepts and help them put those concepts into practice. To facilitate easy integration into the curriculum, Crappell provides example classroom exercises and assignments throughout the text, which are designed to help students understand and practice the related topics and skills. Teaching Piano Pedagogy is not simply a book about teaching piano--it is a book about how piano students learn to teach.
Bartók and the Piano
The Hungarian composer Béla Bartók (1881-1945) studied the piano with a pupil of Franz Liszt and was himself an outstanding pianist. He composed over 300 pieces for the piano, many of which belong in the standard repertory of most students and professional pianists. Yet this book is the first attempt to come to grips with his entire piano output from the perspective of the performer as distinct from that of the music historian, biographer, or analyst. Pianist Barbara Nissman has made a close study of the works in the course of preparing a complete recording of them, and here offers her insights and suggestions for interpretation and performance. Paying particular attention to the Piano Sonata of 1926, the suite Out of Doors, and the three piano concertos, she looks at Bartók's other works in chapters on folk music, the composer as teacher, and juvenilia. She includes a discography of Bartók's own recordings, an annotated bibliography, and a CD containing her own recordings of selected works, including the little-known early sonata of 1898.

Piano Lessons
In this remarkable memoir, Anna Goldsworthy recalls her first steps towards a life in music, from childhood piano lessons with a local jazz muso to international success as a concert pianist. As she discovers passion and ambition, and confronts doubt and disappointment, she learns about much more than tone and technique. This is a story of the getting of wisdom, tender and bittersweet. With wit and affection, Goldsworthy captures the hopes and uncertainties of youth, the fear and exhilaration of performing, and the complex bonds between teacher and student. An unforgettable cast of characters joins her: her family; her friends and rivals; and her teacher, Mrs Sivan, who inspires and challenges her in equal measure, and who transforms what seems an impossible dream into something real and sustaining.
