Reviews
I'm a piano teacher, and I've been using this system for years. It teaches chord theory right along with the music so that it makes sense and is easily retained. The music theory becomes part of the general piano instruction, the music is wide-ranging in type and style, and is nicely arranged, presenting a well-rounded musical education. I even use it with children, (who I don't usually accept as students until they are 8 years old,) who might have hands too small to make an octave stretch, because I hate, hate HATE the standard children's series, which take forever to progress, have stupid songs with even more stupid lyrics. *shudder* I'll use those series with younger, less mature students who need to go slower, but the vast majority of my students can handle the adult series, and enjoy it, and the adults really appreciate it.
