[From Preface] The purpose of the KAHL POPULAR METHOD is to give the basic steps of piano instruction in the most enjoyable way. Along with technical expansion a major objective of BOOK III, OKLAHOMA! is to develop interpretation. The clarity of phrasing should be brought out as well as the difficulty and beauty of the contrast in dynamics between the melody and the accompaniment. As competency in note reading, rhythm, technique, theory, and interpretation are developed, the beautiful songs will be a stimulus to progress. These books may be taught with any classical piano method or supplementary books according to the student's needs. The instruction, which is kept to a minimum, can be easily explained by a competent teacher. This piano course is intended to be light and different, a fascinating way to learn to play the piano.
