Theory Primer Level/Bastiens Piano Basics

By Jenni Murer - April 13, 2000

This is an excellent source for teaching beginner piano lessons. I used it when I began taking piano lessons 26 years ago and used it when I began teaching lessons 7 years ago. It is basic without being boring. I have just moved to a new community and am starting with brand new students - I can't imagine using anything but Bastiens books.

Beginner piano basics

By M. Downing - March 29, 2012

not sure if anyone said this, but this book will teach you the basics of the piano, and the music. like what the notes are, fingering, basic things that will help you get used to where you hands are on the piano, and how to play the notes, rhythm, stuff like that. not sure if it can help you self learn, but i know that if you know the basics of the piano, you can probably teach your kid with these books. i recommend getting this book along with the regular paino book its paired with, because it will help the child, or yourself, have a better understanding of the music. this book is meant to be written in, for more a hands on kind a deal. which i know, helps me in some cases :) i wouldnt say im pro or anything, but i would say im up there on the piano. been playing most my life, and learned with the Bastien piano books. bought these to help my 6 1/2 year old. so far hes doing pretty good. and as a tip, as i was growing up, i played the clarinet in junior high, and that helped me... read more

Wonderful Book....Wonderful Series of Piano Method Books!

By S. Leary - October 18, 2008

I used this series when I was first learning piano. After taking lessons for 8 years it is the best series that I have seen. Now that I am teaching piano to kids I am on the other end and it is still THE best series. It introduces concepts in a logical order, excersices are fun and age appropriate and the fun illustrations really keeps the little bitties intersted in their studies. Wonderful Series...I can not sing enough praises!
