Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What age is Primer Level for?
It's the starting level for a first-time student, typically early elementary age, though adults beginning from zero can use it too.
02Does this teach you to play piano?
Not on its own. It's the written theory companion. Playing is covered in the Piano book at the same level.
03Is Primer before Level 1?
Yes. Primer is the first book in the series; Level 1 comes after.
04Can I use this without a teacher?
You can, but the exercises are built to be checked and explained in lessons, so progress is slower alone.
