This was suggested in another thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Me: Piano (from about 1973-4 onwards) A First and Second Piano Book for Little Jacks and Jills Schaum Piano Course A book called "Sugar and Spice", and one called "The Big Note Book", I think. I may think of others in due course. |

At my first formal piano lesson my teacher gave me Smallwood's Piano Tutor, but at the second lesson, a week later, I could play everything in it (I had been playing "by ear" for a few years before getting any formal tuition) so we just started to learn selected compositions (Baroque/Classical/Romantic) from previous years' grade exams.
