John W. Schaum

Who it's for

• Private piano teachers building complete lesson curricula
• Parents introducing young students to piano at home
• Piano students progressing from beginner through intermediate levels

What's inside

• Schaum Piano Course method books (Pre-A through advanced) in print and PDF formats
• Supplementary theory and note-speller workbooks to reinforce fundamentals
• Solo piano arrangements of classical and folk music, graded by level
• Music by Schaum, Bach, Chopin, Burgmüller, and Hanon

Things to consider

Start with the Pre-A Green Book or Book A Red Book if beginning with a young student; each subsequent book builds directly on the previous one. Add Theory Lessons and Note Speller books alongside the method to strengthen reading and music fundamentals. The solo arrangements in the Schaum Solo Piano Album series let students apply what they've learned to recognizable melodies and classical pieces at their current level.
