If you plan a head this series is cheaper online than in a physical store.

Currently working my way through this book. Well presented with gradual introduction of notes and clear explanations.

As a piano teacher, I am most satisfied with this book. The Bastien method may be older, but it works! The concepts are introduced at the right pace, and reinforced/reviewed. The colorful pictures in these books are fun and engaging. I actually like these pictures better than the Piano Adventures ones, although these books are older. (Note: As in the previous book, one song has the word "gee" in it, which we changed with white-out.)

Bought at piano teacher's request - it seems a popular scheme of work for teachers to use. My son seems to have got on well with it and the selection of tunes is nice and appealing to children. He's just gone back to it to play 'Ode to Joy' and 'Swingin' Beat' on the organ at his Grandmother's funeral. Highly recommended.

The material moves at a great pace, and I love the time frame of what they cover when. It moves a little faster than Faber in my opinion, and the songs feel like actual songs (if they aren't already). I use this series (starting in the primer book) with all of my piano students who start playing from age 8 and up. It is a great series!

I love this book. The melodies and arrangements are so pleasing, adorable, and fun. My 10 year old granddaughter's piano teacher started her lessons with this book. My granddaughter loves the cute, catchy tunes. The book is a set up so well. It is an excellent, fun learning tool. I am 70 and took lessons when I was a child. I found my granddaughter playing from it and ordered one for myself. It is a great way for grandma to remember old skills and learn new ones on my portable Casio keyboard.
