Piano Time Classics: The Oxford Piano Method

Bought this to teach myself some great classical tunes easily - and that's exactly what it does!!

My older pupils really enjoy playing the tunes from this book. Simple, straightforward arrangements- adult beginners love playing something they recognise, too.

This has a collection of tunes which are well known and nicely chosen to appeal to the early-learner. I think it would appeal to the grade 2-3 student. The selection is broad and perhaps the only thing I'd have liked for the price is a few more tunes.

My daughter is really happy with the book, it's easy to read the music and helpful while working towards her next assessment.

The pieces are short enough to use as an additional aid to ABRSM or Trinity sight reading exercises, also roughlyat a grade 3 level to acclimatise pupils to pieces commensurate with grade examinations with a good and interesting selection of different composers.

Lots of nice pieces to learn. The pieces get a bit more difficult near the end of the book.

Well known extracts from ‘classical’ music music with useful fingering prompts. Variety of techniques required makes for interesting learning.

As a beginner to learning the piano somewhat much later in life, these books are good for inspiration .Ones like this Classics edition are especially good, as they have tunes that are recognisable even when playing at a very basic level
