John W. Schaum Piano Course: Pre-A - The Green Book

The John W. Schaum Piano Course is a trusted and time-honored method. This revised edition features updated engravings and typesetting, color highlights to reinforce key concepts, refreshed song titles and lyrics, and bright full-color illustrations.

The Green Book (Pre-A) opens with a seven-page introduction to basic fundamentals. Students then apply these skills through early elementary pieces written on the grand staff, beginning one hand at a time in Middle C position. As the book progresses, students play pieces with melody in one hand and simple two-note harmonies in the other, and are introduced to C Major position. Each lesson book also includes one or two true/false quizzes to review newly learned concepts.
