Pam Wedgwood's Piano Basics 1: (Beginner to Pre-Grade Level 1) (Easy Keyboard Library) (Basics Series)

I am a piano teacher and was looking for a new book to teach beginners after many years of using another one and needing something fresh. This book comes with downloadable tracks which the pupil can play along with as they practice and which supports playing in time and aural skills. It also means the adult I am teaching can be more independent when practising at home and can progress further in between lessons.

Good

Pam Wedgwood is an extremely talented composer and musician and this series of tutorial books are brilliant to use with children to learn piano. They can learn theory as they learn to play and the way the lessons are set out means they start playing straight away.

This is great for a complete beginner, am nearly at the end of the book now and have learned so much

Excellent starter book! Got the basics and suitable for anyone wanting to learn how to play piano.

This was one of the recommended books for a keyboard course one of my grandsons was taking as an extra-curricular activity at his primary school.It seems to be well written and easy to follow and my grandson has made progress using this book in both the lessons and whilst practising at home.

Starting most of my new young students on this method - great way of getting kids making music straight away, without cutting corners or picking up bad habits. See also the books of Paul Harris (esp. The Virtuoso Teacher). Really excellent.

Using this book to teach young piano students, its simple gets them playing straight away and introduces reading my in a very simple way!
