This thorough method gently leads the student, step-by-step, through basic keyboard fundamentals, reinforced by related artwork and activities. Multi-key reading is introduced gradually throughout the course. Music terms and signs are clearly explained as they are presented, and carefully reinforced. The sequence of imaginative original and familiar melodies will stimulate enthusiasm and desire in any student.

About Bastien Piano Library

The Bastien Piano Library is an integrated course of study containing method books, related theory and technic books, and a wide variety of supplementary materials, including Music Flashcards, specifically correlated solo sight reading books, and note speller. The Bastien Piano Library also offers the option of beginning with either a "contemporary" approach (featuring pre-staff notation and first staff reading in G, then C, then middle C) or "traditional" approach (featuring Middle C reading and the C five-finger position).
