I use the Faber Piano Adventures curriculum published by Hal Leonard. You must obtain the required books listed below before your 1st Lesson. To browse all Piano Adventures publications by LEVEL (or if you have difficulty viewing any of the Level Wheel PDF files listed below), click here.
Page 82 of the Piano Adventures Complete Catalog and Teacher's Desk Reference begins a spreadsheet with all the current Piano Adventures publications, item numbers, and retail costs. There are a mind-boggling number of products. Below I list the required books. Once you're familiar with what's available, we can discuss additional resources you may want to acquire.
