For adolescent beginner piano students I recommend 'John Thompson's Earliest Piano Course'. In this series Books I-III build a strong base upon which a student can specialize in different genre and styles graduating from book III.

With knowledge of what the student wants to learn on the guitar we can accomplish any goals between individual practice and lessons. Read More
