PIANO LESSONS BOOK 1 - BOOK/CD PACK
From the very first lessons in Book 1, students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song. The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers, the black-key and white-key groups, and basic rhythm patterns.

Directional reading is taught first by finger number, then by note name, and then by interval (stop, skip, and repeat). Once the students are introduced to the staff, they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read by interval in several different hand positions. This package includes a Piano Lessons Book and CD featuring wonderful tracks to accompany the student during practice or performance.

PIANO LESSONS BOOK 2 - BOOK/CD PACK
Book 2 opens with a new My Own Song improvisation on CDEFG. Unit 1 introduces phrasing and legato touch, and also presents harmonic 2nds and 3rds with staccato touch. The following two units are dedicated to the introduction of 4ths and 5ths.

Also in Unit 3, sharps are introduced in a diatonic setting starting on D, and flats are introduced as blues notes. Most pieces in the second half of Book 2 coordinate hands playing together. This book works very well for transfer students. This package includes a Lessons Book and CD with wonderful accompaniment tracks for students to play along with.

PIANO LESSONS BOOK 3 - BOOK/CD PACK
Unit 1 of Book 3 opens with eighth notes first in 4/4 time, then in 2/4 time. Swing eighths are also presented in the first half of the book. Folk, jazz, classical, and contemporary selections provide students with an interesting variety of repertoire.

In the second half of Book 3, five-finger patterns and triads in C Major, and F Major are presented, as well as their relative minors – A Minor, E Minor, and D Minor. This pacage includes a Piano Lessons book and Cd featuring wonderful tracks to accompany the student during practice or performance.

PIANO LESSONS BOOK 4 - BOOK/CD PACK
Book 4 expands on the related five-finger patterns learned in Book 3 to introduce the scales of C Major, A Minor, G Major, and E Minor. Chord progressions in close position are also presented in each of these keys.

Syncopated rhythms, syncopated pedaling and opposing articulations between the hands create performances with style, color, and texture. This package includes both a Piano Lessons book and CD featuring wonderful tracks to accompany the student during practice or performance.
