Reviews
As a piano teacher for over 20 years, I have found the Faber Piano Adventure Series to be the best methods I've ever used. The adult books share the same excellence. I like that it includes theory pages and technic as well as the usual lessons. The songs are a nice selection from classical themes to traditional to originals. All are arranged very musically. This book covers the equivalent content of the Older Beginner Book 2 through Level 3B, so it moves along at a good clip. Of course there are also 189 pages. (Faber Adult Piano I covered Key of C & G, and reading notes up to high G right above the staff & down to low G at the bottom line of the bass staff, and overlaps with to some of Older Beginner Level 2. That gives one an idea of the level it begins at.)
