Let’s find a great FUN book for piano students! If you want to check with me as to whether this one is best for your student, please let me know! Looking for a particular song? Use CTL-F to search.
PLEASE NOTE. Some books were published years ago. Some folk songs are products of their time, and may not be appropriate for your family.
Remember, many of my students use the Bastien Methods. For variety’s sake I’m including supplemental books from lots of other publishers. Not all Level 1s are equal!
