Bastien Piano Basics Set (Piano, Theory Performance, Technic, Primer, 4 Book Set) Paperback – January 1, 1997

I bought these for my daughter to take piano lessons. Great set and exactly what I expected.

Does a great job of introducing music theory concepts in a gradual and understandable way. I recently got back into playing the piano after being on and off with it for the past 20 years and I've been learning things I never knew.... and this is only level 2.Just by going through these 4 books, I've noticed a quick progression in my capability to not only play, but to learn. By the end of the books, I was actually learning pieces faster than I was in the beginning, and I was even able to sight-read some of the easier stuff. I'm not the intended audience for these books but my piano teacher recommended it. He told me there is a version for adults but the only difference is that they took out the childish visuals. This has done wonders and I'm excited to see where I'll be after book 3.

Very helpful books with nice music. Excellent for the beginning student.

My kids started piano lessons and I have been amazed at how easy the books are to understand for them.

I love it when any order is all things good and this one was. I ordered, recieved, in excellent shape and was using right on time and you can't ask for more than that. The price is very good as well (concidering the by the book price would be more.)This item was for my grandaughter who is 8 and reccomended by her piano teacher and they work very well. She was playing songs with only 3 or 4 half hour lessons.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N3M8S4/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_titleWe also bought the next level (purple set) and I am glad to have them ahead of time.

Books are perfect for kids and shipping was quick. Thank you.

Good beginner set for kids! The delivery company lost my delivery and company was great and resent. Thank you!

I am using these books for teaching piano lessons. I have these for a long time and the students love them.
