Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can a student use this instead of their instrument book?

No. Students need the book for their own instrument. This is the piano part a teacher or accompanist plays behind them.

02Does this include the student melodies?

The accompaniment is written to go with the student parts from the method. Buy the matching instrument books for the students themselves.

03Does this cover Book 2 material?

No. This is Book 1 only. Book 2 accompaniment is a separate purchase.

04Is any audio included?

No. It's a printed piano accompaniment book.
