Things to consider
Start with Level 1A if the student is brand new to reading music and piano; Level 1B or 2 works for students with some prior experience. A complete level typically includes the lesson book as your core text, plus theory and technic books to reinforce learning. The recital book provides performance pieces to motivate students. If you teach multiple students, buying one instructor copy of lesson and theory books plus individual student books is cost-effective.
