The Bastien books, which I used growing up, take awhile to add real variety. The newer kid-targeted Alfred books are a good alternative to these, but the older adult Alfred books are a miserable mix of musical monotony. There needs to be harmonic and melodic variety or else students will not be inspired (and teachers will be musically murdered if all the songs are based on the C 5-finger position).While I admire some of the pedagogy in the Thompson and Schaum series, I find that the books feel "outdated" in their ability to communicate with young beginners in the 2000's. It's a bit like looking at older editions from the 19th century: great for serious study, but harder to read and a bit out-of-touch. I find that Thompson/Schaum throw an awful lot of technical information early on, and this can be overwhelming to the beginner. Kids also like lively, colorful illustrations. I only bring up these details because I think the F&F books are enjoyed by my students more than others.The pacing of the F&F books is suitably slow for the young student these days. They are designed for someone who doesn't practice every day, or isn't fully invested in music, which is a realistic approach given the current student who is overscheduled and isn't committed to regular music practice. I'm just sayin'! For the more motivated students, or ones slightly older, the F&F "for the older beginner" series is much faster in its pacing, and the illustrations and song selections are appropriate for older students.On that note, if you are using the basic Piano Adventures series, keep in mind that these are really geared for YOUNG students, especially the first few books. If you are starting off a 3rd grader or 4th grader, they will often be unimpressed by the lack of "cool" in the books.The biggest challenge of method books is that, if you start the students when they are older, by the time they want to learn a Taylor Swift song, if they haven't made some real progress musically and technically, it becomes a long, hard slog. Get them into these books, get them practicing early, and by the time they are in middle school they will be able to learn the songs they want. If you're lucky, the list might include Bach and Ellington. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Faber and Faber Piano series is fresh and a terrific series *by on Reviewed in the United States May 30, 2024* I have taught piano to elementary school students and adults for 15+ years. There are many tried and true piano series out there and most of them have pictures and printed font from the 1940's and 1950's. They look dated and boring. Not this book! The husband and wife team who put out the Faber and Faber piano series have created a new, fresh look and feel while still presenting the basics of piano technique and music theory. Your student may be learning a classic piece like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, but the accompaniments are new and gorgeous. Many have wonderful teacher duet arrangements that are great the adult learner who does not want to learn 'baby' songs as they begin acquiring a new skill. I love that this book includes pages of fun activities that teach music theory (counting, rhythm, dynamics) in such a fun way that the kids learn without realizing it. I think this book is an awesome addition to any piano teacher's list of resource books for their students. Try one, you will be hooked and want to buy them all! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music Book *by on Reviewed in the United States April 7, 2026* Most useful and engaging ## Frequently Bought Together - Faber Piano Adventures: Level 1 Lesson Book 2nd Edition - Piano Adventures Performance Book Level 1. 2nd Edition - Faber Piano Adventures: Level 1 Technique & Artistry Book 2nd Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/228134-piano-adventures-lesson-book-level-1](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/228134-piano-adventures-lesson-book-level-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
