My First Piano Album

The Piano

There are different kinds of piano. Some are big and some are small. But they all have one thing in common: a keyboard with white keys and black keys. When you learn to play the piano, you use one hand first. Then you use the other hand. Then you play with both hands together. When you become really good you can play things fast, with fingers moving at different speeds in different directions! And you can play all your favourite tunes. On this recording you can hear some of the best piano music written by famous composers. It is played by very good pianists. These pianists started to learn the piano when they were young children. They all like playing the piano better than anything else!

Naxos Global Distribution Ltd : Naxos Records is the world’s leading classical music label as measured by the number of new recordings it releases and the depth and breadth of its catalogue. Naxos was founded in 1987 by Klaus Heymann, a German-born entrepreneur based in Hong Kong. Under his continuing stewardship, Naxos has developed from being known primarily as a budget label focusing on standard repertoire into a global music group comprising a raft of downloading and streaming platforms, a significant catalogue of multimedia products, a vast international logistics network, a recording engineering arm, a publications division, and a licensing department.
