Who needs Rugeri? 
Do  you play a musical instrument? Or do you perhaps even teach a musical  
instrument? If you are a professional music teacher or the director of a music  
school, you certainly are familiar with one of the most frequently asked  
questions that is also most difficult to answer: What should my student play  
next? What piece is best suited for the student at his or her present stage of  
development?

What piece next?
If you have many students, this  question will plague you many times every 
day, almost inevitably giving you a  bad conscience. No one is in a position to 
make the optimal choice of  educational music literature for each student at 
each given moment. Provided  that such a "tailor-made" piece exists, no one is 
able to keep up with the vast  and ever increasing number of music 
publications, let alone find the time to  pick from among them the perfectly suited 
piece. On the other hand, it is a  proven fact that the choice of appropriate music 
literature is one of the most  important factors influencing the motivation 
of a student, as well as both his  technical and his musical progress.

Financial aspects
Financial  considerations are a further obstacle for finding adequate 
literature. The  parents have perhaps just purchased a new music book or a new volume 
of an  instrumental method, hoping that the author considered well what he 
was writing  and the order in which he presented it. The fact is that page l6 
inevitably  follows page 15; if simply taught in sequence, justice is not done 
to the  possibility that a supplementary musical selection from another source 
might be  much better suited to stabilize, reinforce, and consolidate the 
progress just  achieved.
