“This is a great series of tutor books that I use with students, for many years now, from junior school age through to adults - not just teenagers ! The addition of a cd/audio download is great as it makes the very early stages of note-learning more interesting. The Repertoire Book is a good companion to the course book, providing lengthier pieces to complement exercises or shorter pieces in the course book. My only dislike is that it begins the left hand/bass clef with the lower C, rather than Middle C but I combat this by using a Carol Barratt book alongside!”

“This is a great tutor book and not just for teenagers! I use this book with students aged from about 8 through to adult. (I generally use the author's 'Younger Beginner' version for children below this age. The book is clearly set out with information, exercises and short pieces in a variety of genre; the accompanying cd is a bonus, especially to provide interest at the very early stages. I do combine this with material from another book though as the authors introduce the 'low c' left hand position 1st, whereas I teach the thumb on Middle C position first, as I find students find this simpler and progress more quickly. I also combine use of pieces from the Repertoire book to consolidate learning.”

“Good course book which I use for students in conjunction with the Repertoire book and Carol Barratt's Classical course.”

“This is a very useful Beginners’ tutor book for an able older child, or adult, not just for teenage use! It has lots of exercises to reinforce learning, as well as some pieces with additional complementary pieces in the Play Piano Repertoire book. ( I use these in conjunction with Carol Barratt’s ‘The Classic Piano Course’. )”
