Our Teachers' Review
Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Book 1 is, without question, our most-recommended book for adult beginners. Nancy and Randall Faber designed this specifically for the adult learner's mindset — it explains the 'why' behind every concept, uses sophisticated musical arrangements, and moves at a pace that respects both your intelligence and your learning curve.
What sets this apart from other adult method books is the all-in-one format. Lessons, theory, and technique are integrated into a single volume, which means adults don't have to juggle multiple books or feel overwhelmed by supplementary materials. Everything you need for the first several months of study is right here.
The piece selection is thoughtful — you'll play arrangements of classical themes, folk songs, and popular melodies that sound genuinely musical even at the beginner level. Our adult students consistently tell us that this book keeps them motivated because the music is satisfying from the very first lesson.
Our teachers typically spend 4–8 months on Book 1 with adult beginners taking weekly 45-minute or 60-minute lessons. The pace is comfortable without being slow, and every concept is immediately applied through musical pieces rather than dry exercises.
