Play It Again Piano Book 3
Melanie Spanswick
If you often find yourself saying I used to play the piano…" but wish you still did, then Play it again: Piano is the resource for you!
Book 3 from the Play it Again: Piano series completes the course for those returning to the piano, and continues on their journey from books 1 and 2. Each of the pieces in the book is accompanied by full pages of easy-to-understand practice tips. The standard progresses from around UK grades 8 to diploma standard (advanced).Aimed at 'returning' players who have spent some time away from the keyboard, Play it again: Piano gives you the confidence to revisit this fulfilling pastime and go beyond what you previously thought you could achieve.
Published Autumn 2025: Play it again Piano: Prep.
This is intended primarily as a 'warm-up' volume to Book 1, for those who are yet to reach Grade 1 level (where Book 1 begins). The Prep Book is for late beginner level to Grade 1, and it contains 37 pieces plus lots of technical help and advice, in a similar vein to the other books in the series.
