Progressive Piano Method, consisting of two books and two CD's has been designed to introduce the basics of playing piano and reading music to the student who has no previous musical knowledge. All the songs have been carefully graded into an easy-to-follow, lesson-by-lesson format. To maximise enjoyment and interest, each book contains an extensive repertoire of well known songs with easy arrangements, playing basic chord shapes with the left hand, and melodies with the right hand.

Method Book 1 introduces the student to playing and reading music in the keys of C, F and G major over a range of more than two octaves. It gives basic left hand chord shapes and inversions for C, F, G7, Bb, C7, G and D7. These chords are combined with right hand melodies in t and i time, incorporating whole, half, quarter, eighth and dotted notes, with their equivalent rests. The C, F and G major scales are also introduced, along with sharp and flat notes. At the completion of this book, the student will be able to play over 50 songs. The book also has a chord chart section listing basic shapes for all major, minor and seventh chords.
