Realistic pacing that challenges without overwhelmingHere’s what teachers are saying about the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library:“The Hal Leonard Student Piano Library is an excellent series, carefully designed and tested to produce musicallyliterate pianists who are comfortable playing the piano, reading music, and creating music of their own.”– Meg Gray (from the review in Clavier Companion July/August 2010 issue)“How do these methods rate in their implementation of [MENC] National Standards 2, 3, 4 and, 5 for variety of music,creating music, and reading music?.Excellent [highest] ratings were given to Hal Leonard: Piano Lessons.”– Julie Ann Ballard (from DMA Dissertation: USC Thornton School of Music 2007)“I came on your website specifically to write you and let you know that I have been using your piano method booksfrom the time that you introduced them. I love them so much. I wish you could hear some of my students some time.They play so beautifully and learn so much faster and more thoroughly since I started using your method. Finally,I just want to say thank you for combining your lesson books and CDs at such an affordable price. It has to be theabsolute best value in the market today.”–Kristi McIntyre, Franklin, TN“What I like most about the HLSPL is the variety ofmusic. All of the pieces are beautiful, with or without theCD. I teach a lot of young beginners, and most methodbooks start out on the black notes, as yours does. Thebig difference is that the pieces in your method areartistic right from the beginning. The children love theillustrations. And I love seeing results.”-Karen Ferguson, Coquitlam, BC CanadaPrices, content and availability subject to changewithout notice and may vary outside the USA.ATTENTIONPIANO TEACHERS!Now you can view/downloadour Hal Leonard StudentPiano Library Teacher’sGuides for Piano LessonsBooks 1 and 2 for FREE!Go to www.halleonard.com/educationalpiano.com and go toHL Student Piano Library Method Books FREE Teacher’s Guides.
