The Piano Adventures Gold Star Performance books are adventurous collections for pianists featuring changing moods, keys, and hand positions. The series offers performance pieces "with a challenge." This collection may also be used as a graduation book to improve artistic, technical, and rhythmic skills before advancing to the next level.

About the CD
The Gold Star Performance CD is a discovery in sound for both listening and play-along. Repeated listening, with and without the score, will familiarize students with diverse musical textures and sonorities–a lively marching band, the bass sounds of roaming pterodactyls, or ringing French cathedral bells. The educational recordings provide more than student demonstration–they provide settings in harmony, style, and rhythm which explore the expressive and dramatic qualities of the piano. Solo piano performances, superlatively performed by Nancy and Randall Faber, are included on the CD as well.
