My methods used for piano students are the Randall and Nancy Faber teaching books; they are among the very best teaching materials due to their ease of comprehension, their logical sequence of concepts taught, and also their practical exercises and songs for the student.

Writing things down provides us with a timeline of progression to see what works and what doesn’t. Read More
