Happy practicing!
You are looking for a step-by-step curriculum. Buy a method book first, then buy this as the "dessert." Have you played out of this book? Do you remember the red cover or the blue cover? Let me know in the comments below!
If you have ever stepped into a sheet music store or browsed the piano method section online, you have likely seen that distinctive, warm cover. For decades, "Piano Pieces For Children" (published by Everybody’s Favorite Series) has been a rite of passage for young musicians.
You have a child who knows their notes and needs a massive, fun repertoire book to prevent quitting due to boredom.
But in an era of apps and synthesizers, is this yellowed, staple-bound collection still relevant? As a piano teacher and a parent, I decided to sit down and revisit this classic. Here is my honest review. What strikes you immediately about this book is the sheer volume of material. Unlike modern method books that spoon-feed you five pieces per level, this collection throws open the door to a musical candy store.
