Favorite Piano Music Books
But since the purpose of the pieces in a method or lesson book is to teach you fundamental skills, techniques, and how to read notes, etc., they could be a tad bit boring. Here are my long-time favorites of really great quality anthologies with different styles of music we use all the time in my studio. These books are perfect to complement any piano method and especially great for adult beginners who are ready for some "real" music (without simplifications) by known composers.

Piano Question of the Month
Hanon for Beginners"Good day to you, I'm an older (60yrs young) person starting off with piano lessons.What is the best way to easily move up and down as you are practicing Hanon? My fingers and I are not on the same sheet of music. Thank you and be safe."
Hello Jonathan, Your quotable comment made my day: "My fingers and I are not on the same sheet of music". Brilliant! 🤣 Hanon's exercises are great, but if you're a beginner, start by learning 5-finger patterns (Penta scales) in major and minor first. This will help you coordinate your fingers. Hanon's 5-finger exercises are an extension of these basic patterns.
Piano Sheet MusicAve Maria by Franz SchubertPerhaps the most famous version of Ave Maria (Ave Maria Jungfrau mild) was composed by Franz Schubert.This song was written in 1825 as the sixth (Ellen's third) song (lieder) in a song cycle of seven songs based upon the poems by Walter Scott called The Lady of the Lake. Later, the Latin text of the “Ave Maria” from the Roman Catholic prayer was used instead of the original text. It became so popular that many thought Schubert composed it to that text. Here it is in a relatively easy arrangement. Enjoy!
