Piano Adventures - Lesson Book - Level 2A

We finished the first book and just moved to this one. We like how the lessons are set up and my daughter enjoys the songs.

The media could not be loaded. Nancy Faber's Piano Adventures - Lesson Book - Level 2A is a gem for budding pianists. Its affordability doesn't compromise on quality; each page is meticulously crafted to foster gradual progress. My daughter's improvement is evident, thanks to the book's structured approach and engaging pieces. The clear instructions and variety of exercises keep her motivated and eager to practice. With its effective blend of theory, technique, and repertoire, this book is a solid foundation for any young pianist's journey. Highly recommended for its value and impact on skill development.

Best for new beginner piano player!

Great series of books teaching how to play the piano. Our piano teacher uses this series, and I have spoken to at least four more instructors in the area that all use these series to teach piano. Our daughter started with the first book in the series at age 5 and has been going through the books for the last two years. They teach the concepts progressively, with focus on good technique, enough variation, and a good selection of songs. She is never bored, and learns at a consistent pace. The main books for each level are called "Lesson Book". The "Technique and Artistry Book" for the same level is a companion to help students improve their knowledge and technique about music and piano artistry. So they complement each other well, and we tend to move in parallel in both of those books. We primarily use those two in our classes. For each level there are also "popular repertoire" and "Christmas books" that take well known and liked songs and arrange them for that specific level of learning. We've sprinkled these here and there to keep things interesting for our daughter. There are also CDs that accompany the books, but I have no experience in those.

I've been teaching piano for about 6 years now and for the first few years, I flipped between a few different method books among students to see which ones I thought were progressive and had fun songs.The Piano Adventures Method books have been my favorite so far if you're looking for a solid lesson book to lay the groundwork, it gradually introduces a student to different dynamics, key signatures, theory, pedal introduction, etc... and I have enjoyed most of the accompaniments!All in all, I have stuck with these method books not just because they are simple for a teacher to follow but also for a student, I think lesson books are a vital part of teaching a child structure and discipline, it also allows for more freedom when they become teenagers because you can break away from lesson books and focus on more repertoire since you've already established that structure and disciplined practice that a lesson book offers.10/10 recommend.

Moving on up to the next book!!

Love this series - the lesson, performance and supplemental books are top quality. 5 finger positions are well developed and tunes are appealing to elementary students. Will be continuing with Faber publications!

My daughter just started piano and this was a great book recommended by her piano teacher in learning how to read notes. I would recommend for any beginning pianist
