Things to consider
The CD reference recording in each book is genuinely useful for learning unfamiliar melodies, especially with jazz and Broadway material. Start with the top-selling Swing series if jazz appeals, or the Classical Collection for students working on traditional repertoire. Since most titles are instrumental arrangements, piano accompaniment books are sold separately and worth adding for solo performance or lesson settings.
