Faber Piano AdventuresAccelerated Piano Adventures Technique & Artistry Book - Book 1 for The Older Beginner - Faber Piano
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Method book for teenagers and adults starting piano, covering technique drills and short performance pieces. Buy it alongside the matching Accelerated Lesson Book 1.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adults returning to piano after years away
- Teen beginners who find children's method books condescending
- Students working with a teacher through the Accelerated series
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Children under about ten — pacing assumes older reading skills
- Players who already read music fluently in both clefs
- Anyone wanting only repertoire without technique exercises

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need the lesson book too?
Yes, for the full method. Technique & Artistry is built to run in parallel with the Accelerated Lesson Book 1 and follows its unit order.
02Can I use this without a teacher?
You can. The technique pages explain hand position and finger motion in text, though a teacher will catch posture problems a book cannot.
03What age is this for?
Teens and adults. Faber publishes a separate Piano Adventures line for younger children with the same underlying method.
04How is this different from regular Piano Adventures Level 1?
Accelerated moves faster and assumes an older student. The standard line spreads the same material across more books at a gentler pace.
