Applause!, Book 1

Listening to these recordings allows students to instantly hear the 'power and pure flash' as expertly recorded by noted pianist and pedagogue, Valery Lloyd-Watts. Studies show that when budding pianists listen to recordings, they learn notes and rhythms accurately and memorize at a quicker pace. Lloyd-Watts' tasteful interpretations lend insight into each piece. Valery Lloyd-Watts studied at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto and the Royal College of Music in London. She earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Wisconsin, where she studied with Paul Badura-Skoda. She co-authored the text Studying Suzuki Piano: More than Music, which was endorsed by Dr. Suzuki.
