Piano Lessons - Book 1 (Hal Leonard)

From the very first lessons in Book 1, students are making music as they explore the piano keyboard through fun improvisation pieces called My Own Song. The beginning of the book introduces finger numbers, the black-key and white-key groups, and basic rhythm patterns.

Directional reading is taught first żeby finger number, then żeby note name, and then by interval (stop, skip, and repeat).Once the students are introduced to the staff, they learn reading guides Bass F and Treble G and read żeby interval in several different hand positions.
