Ovidio Piano System™ – Book 1 Beginner Piano Pieces for Fast & Solid Progress

Choosing the right graded piano repertoire is one of the most complex and

decisive challenges for both piano students and teachers. Music that is too easy

slows progress and reduces engagement; music that is too difficult creates

frustration and technical gaps. The right repertoire, chosen at the right moment,

is the fastest and most effective way to develop strong reading skills, finger

control, coordination, memory, and musical visualization.

This 5-book graded piano library was created by Ovidio De Ferrari, pianist,

composer, and piano teacher with over 40 years of professional teaching

experience, and founder of the Ovidio Music Institute. It is the result of decades

of real teaching practice, observation, and refinement with students of all ages

and levels.

The collection includes 5 progressive books (Levels 1–5), featuring 60 favorite

piano pieces across more than 100 pages. Each piece is carefully designed to

guide the student step by step, maintaining high motivation while building solid

technical and musical foundations in the shortest and most natural learning path

possible.

All music sheets in this collection include clear and complete signs of musical

expression, such as dynamics, accentuation, articulation, and phrasing, as well

as pedal indications and carefully considered fingerings. These elements are

intentionally integrated to guide the student toward correct fluency, natural

coordination, and expressive playing from the earliest stages, ensuring a clear

musical direction and technically sound interpretation.

This library is not a random selection of pieces, but a structured pedagogical

system, officially used and developed within the Ovidio Music Institute — now

made accessible for students, parents, and teachers worldwide.
