ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Created by Phoenix

When I couldn't find the books I wanted for my own students, I started creating them myself. I wanted books that did more than drill concepts or test what students already knew. I wanted books that would teach, guide, and review through activities students genuinely enjoyed. Every Piano Skill Set book begins with the same question: "What would make this easier to teach and more fun to learn?"
