This month’s discussion topic is about using method books (i.e., Alfred, Faber, Bastien, etc.) in the piano studio:
What do you look for in a method book? What features are most important to you? Do you use the same method series for all your students, or do you use a variety? If you use a variety of different method books in your studio, how do you decide which one is right for each student? Do you use a method series all the way through the final level, or do you take them out at some point?
Post away! =)

At the expense of sounding like an old record, I’d like to express once more (last time, I promise!) how much I’ve enjoyed reading all your comments lately, especially the shared stories on the giveaway post from a couple weeks ago. It’s comments such as those that make Color In My Piano a success and a worthwhile resource for everyone including myself! We have so much we can learn from each other.
