Michael Aaron Piano
Which piano method (book) would you recommend?
I want to teach my 6 year old (I’ve played piano for 30 years so she sees me playing all the time and knows quite a few things but I can’t decide which method or series of methods to use.
Any recommendations?
Here’s a list of methods I found in my research, I’m sure there are more:
Alfred series
Bastien series
Faber & Faber
Noona methods
Glover methods
Teaching Little Fingers to Play series
Michael Aaron Piano course
Suzuki methods
I can read music notespellers
Hal Leonard methods
The Music Tree (Frances Clark Library)
Usborne
Choose out a few and give them a try. I’d steer clear of Suzuki and Michael Aaron, but that’s just a personal preference. I learned with Alfred and Hal Leonard. Really its not the method book that teaches your daughter, but you. so it won’t make a huge difference what you use.
For exersizes after she’s learned the basics though, try ANIMAL MAGIC. Its cute and will work…uh, magic. really.

And big arias they are, too–so well-known that they are opera’s versions of chartbusting pop hits: Verdi’s “La donna รจ mobile” from Rigoletto (in a recen… |

The Copland Collection: Orchestral & Ballet Works, 1936-1948 $22.80 Aaron Copland made numerous recordings of his own music, including an extensive series for CBS during the 1960s and ’70s, mostly with London orchestras. He was not an especially proficient conductor–consequently, the performances he conducted often lacked pace and rhythmic punch. His last recordings of his most popular scores have been reissued by Sony on an exceptionally well-remastered 3-CD set… |
