Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. Book 1 is the first volume in the series and assumes no prior piano experience or music reading.
It is sequenced to be worked through in order, which helps self-study, though a teacher will catch hand position and technique problems a book cannot.
Early material stays in a narrow range, but a full 88-key instrument gives you room as the book progresses.
Yes, this is Book 1 of the Piano 101 series, so the course continues in later volumes sold separately.
