About this title

Review:

...very attractively produced, with lots of activities to complete along the way to reinforce the overall theoretical learning also.

...These two books working in conjunction with each other encompass so much in the way of theory, aural and sound learning that I for one will certainly be trying them

'...it is clear that I am excited by “Get Set! Piano” and plan to use it with all younger beginners who come to me from now on. This of course means that in a year or so I should hopefully be able to come back with a follow-up article, and let you all know how it goes! Hopefully my enthusiasm will be undiminished of course!

But don’t wait – go ahead and order up a set of these tremendous books, and check out all the great resources on the “Get Set! Piano” website – you really won’t regret it!'
