Does anyone have any suggestions as to good books to use for starting the pupil off on. Beginners that is.

Thanks

It might help if you mentioned what instrument you're referring to. I imagine you mean piano, but piano isn't the only instrument you know!

Also, there's no one-size fits all, otherwise there wouldn't be so many methods on the market. In my violin teaching I've settled on two or three different beginner methods which I use according to the pupil's strengths and propensities, which always become apparent pretty early on.

Violinia

As a violin teacher, what are they?

I like Fiddle Time Starters for the younger ones and sometimes Abracadabra,we then progress to Fiddle time Joggers.

Apologies - teach me to try and do a couple of things at the same time!

Yep I do mean piano

There are loads around!
How old are the beginners? This makes a big difference. For the youngsters I tend to use tunes for 10 fingers (Pauline Hall) the older children find this all a bit childish though, and prefer Alfred's basics. Adults I have less experience with, but Fanny Waterman is quite good, as is Michael Aaron
