Christmas, hymns, classical, duets and ensembles, sheet music, flash cards and more!
• Realistic pacing that challenges without overwhelming
Here’s what teachers are saying about the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library:
“The Hal Leonard Student Piano Library is an excellent series, carefully designed and tested to produce musically
literate pianists who are comfortable playing the piano, reading music, and creating music of their own.”
–M eg Gray (from the review in Clavier Companion July/August 2010 issue)
“How do these methods rate in their implementation of [MENC] National Standards 2, 3, 4 and, 5 for variety of music,
creating music, and reading music?...Excellent [highest] ratings were given to Hal Leonard: Piano Lessons.”
–J ulie Ann Ballard (from DMA Dissertation: USC Thornton School of Music 2007)
“I came on your website specifically to write you and let you know that I have been using your piano method books
from the time that you introduced them. I love them so much. … I wish you could hear some of my students some time.
They play so beautifully and learn so much faster and more thoroughly since I started using your method. … Finally,
I just want to say thank you for combining your lesson books and CDs at such an affordable price. It has to be the
absolute best value in the market today.”
–Kristi McIntyre, Franklin, TN
