How to choose

Choosing a book here depends on where a student is in the Schaum sequence.

Beginner

A new student should start with the A Red Book, working through short exercises to build note reading and hand position before moving on. Keep practice sessions short and regular rather than long and infrequent.

Intermediate

A student who has completed the A Red Book can progress into the B Blue Book, building on the technique and reading introduced earlier. Review earlier material occasionally so skills stay solid as new concepts are introduced.

Expert

A more advanced student can work through the E Violet and F Brown Books, which continue building technique for students further along in the course. Balance method book practice with pieces outside the course to keep motivation and musicality developing together.
