Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes. Book 2 picks up where Book 1 leaves off and assumes that material. Start at Book 1 if you have never read music.
02Is this for kids or adults?
The Student Piano Library is written for young students. Adults can use it, but the pacing and presentation are aimed at children.
03Can I teach myself with this?
It is designed to be used with a teacher. Self-teaching is possible but you lose the hand-position and technique correction the method assumes.
04What else do I need from the series?
The lesson book is the spine. Theory, technique and solo books at the same level are sold separately and are optional.
