The pieces in this book can all be taught from memory to beginners, their object being to encourage freedom of movement over the piano and to give a sound knowledge of locality. They should give relief from the mental effort of Sight Reading, and it is hoped that they will be looked upon as ''Pleasure Pieces'' only. As much key variety as possible has been used without introducing black notes. They should be easy because the hands seldom move together, and the phrases are clearly defined. Each one is built on a definite pattern.
