        Old Style but Still Usable

        This work is an old favorite of many teachers. It is a great way to introduce students to works in the format of "real classics." It is one of the classical methods that can actually be used to teach a beginning piano student. I highly recommend using the Peters edition...

        transcend time and space!

        This is a must for any teacher to have in his/her library. It is a very fun read, and you can't help but feel like you're back in Beyer's time. It is just cool, really. It is also effective, of course, but it takes a very mature student to be...

        Old school but effective

        This was the first book I used to learn piano. It is an old school method if we look at the new books but I think it is very effective. I don't want to harm anybody but most of the books are like "Piano for Dummies". Beyer is a challenge...

        Great melodic etude

        Many students are not accustomed to read music successfully. Beyer gives students the opportunity to get used to recognizing melodic shapes without using the childish "big-note" score. About a third into the book, the exercises are organized by keys, so that upon completing the book, students would have played on...

        A Great Method

        Beyer's Preparatory School is a great piano method, especially for older beginners. It moves from the very beginning to a late intermediate level. It moves in a very logical and sequential manner. It is printed in English, German, and French, so it makes the older beginner feel smarter. Duets with...
