Suggested standard introductory method book for Piano?
on: June 24, 2008, 04:12:32 PM
 
I play Bass, and The the standard introductory method book for double bass is written by Franz Simandl (1840-1912)

 I would believe that there is such a book for Piano? Thanks!

Try moving your question to the student corner.

Because piano is a widely studied instrument for both young and old, there is such a diverse selection of publications one could use.  A good piano teacher would select music and exercises that suit your particular experience and skill.
