The Character Studies are divided into two parts, a simple version and a complex version. This book is based on a teaching method called "scaffolding" where you continue to return to previous concepts and ideas, but improve the foundation of these ideas. Each study embodies a different style of music: marches, waltzes, dances, and melodies. Each study is distinctly different from the next so you are able to experience a wide variety of styles and forms. - the composer. 63 pages.
