Great Series,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piano Adventures Theory Book, Level 2B (Paperback)
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Great series for piano students. I have used these from the beginning with my kids and find them very easy to follow. They have very nice songs, and have a diverse collection of music.

Great songs and presentation of concepts,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piano Adventures Theory Book, Level 2B (Paperback)
I like the Faber and Faber series because they present fundamental musical ideas in a systematic order, the songs are by and large interesting, and the pictures are well done. The music of course is the most important part, but the presentation can affect how the student frames the piece, mentally, which in turn affects how they approach it. I also like how they stress the identification of intervals in the accompanying theory book. Some other books don't stress this aspect of reading, but it is very useful for most students.
