The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Schirmer Library, LB146
A catalog edition, so page and exercise numbering matches what other students and teachers are using.
Detail 04

Detail 05

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a complete piano method?
No. It is a book of graded beginner studies. Most students use it alongside a method book or with a teacher, not on its own.
02Will it fit on a standard bookshelf?
Probably not. At 12 by 9 inches it is full sheet-music size and taller than most shelves allow.
03How do I know it is the right edition?
Match the ISBN, 9780793525676, or the Schirmer library number LB146.
04Is it for adults or children?
Neither specifically. It is aimed at beginners, and adults and children both use it, usually with a teacher directing the pace.
