Our Method Books: Faber Piano Adventures® Published by Hal Leonard
At The Wright Notes, we use Piano Adventures® by Nancy and Randall Faber — one of the most trusted and widely used piano methods in the world, published by Hal Leonard. These beautifully designed books make learning fun, sequential, and genuinely musical from day one.
My First Piano Adventure® — Ages 5 & 6
Designed specifically for the youngest beginners, this series uses songs, games, and creative exploration to introduce music in a completely pre-reading, child-friendly way. Books A, B, and C progressively guide little ones from their very first notes all the way into reading music on the staff, with outstanding orchestrations and vocals on the audio tracks — because when children listen, sing, tap, and move to their piano music, they play more musically.
Piano Adventures® — Ages 7 & Up (Levels 1–5)
For older beginners and advancing students, the core Piano Adventures® series offers Lesson, Theory, Technique & Artistry, and Performance books at each level. Students build strong foundational skills while playing music that actually sounds like music — from classical themes to contemporary pop and jazz. Every level keeps students engaged and moving forward.
Accelerated Piano Adventures® — For the Older Beginner
Older students and teens who are new to piano move faster and think differently than young children — and this series is built for exactly that. Book 1 covers fundamental rhythms and all the notes of the grand staff at a pace suited to the more mature learner. The series includes Lesson, Theory, Performance, Technique & Artistry, Sightreading, and Popular Repertoire books, with elegantly simple technique exercises that build a solid technical foundation and are used as daily warm-ups.
Adult Piano Adventures® All-in-One — For Adult Beginners & Returning Players
Never too late to start! This comprehensive All-in-One book includes lessons, technique, and theory in a single spiral-bound volume for ease of use, with over two hours of instructional videos and audio accompaniment tracks available online. Book 2 continues with carefully sequenced instruction in note reading, music theory, and piano technique, introducing triad inversions, 16th-note rhythms, connected pedaling, and major and minor scales. It's a complete, self-contained course designed for adults who want to play music for the pure joy of it.
