I strongly prefer the Bastien method when teaching adult piano students. I like how the lessons flow, and the order that concepts are taught. I’ve had excellent success with adult students using this method.
I’m including links for Amazon and Sheet Music Plus. It’s completely up to you as to where you ultimately purchase the books. The first book is required. The second book will be used once the first book is completed.
