Giving away beginner piano books

In a previous life, I taught piano. These were individual lessons and the children came to the house for their lessons. Piano-teaching served me well as I didn’t have to leave home so didn’t need childcare. I would have lessons after school came out for the day and on Saturday mornings. I haven’t taught now for a number of years and I’m now offering some beginner piano books on a free site. Hopefully someone will be able to make use of them.

That’s very kind, and I do hope it helps someone start their life as a pianist with those books. I can barely play “Chopsticks,” but I know that playing an instrument is very soothing. (I pluck on the guitar, hardly a “player,” but as I said, it’s soothing.)

Vin's family is all very musical. The youngest brother has just bought himself an auto harp and is reallyl enjoying playing it. I find it a very soothing instrument.

I hope so. These books have had a lot of use. I would lend them to pupils then pass them on later.

I also hope that someone who gets the piano books will make good use of them as well.

Such books might be quite expensive now. I should research them just for interest.

@JudyEv I am in agreement with you that books these days are expensive to purchase from a bookstore.

That is very kind to give the piano lesson books away. How many years did you teaches piano lessons?

It's nice that any kids still play the piano at all.

People will enjoy getting your books, wouldn't it be amazing if a former student came across one of the books? What a wonderful memory that would be. I took piano lessons and remember my books very well. It was only the scale workbooks that I disliked, but I took the good with the bad with that teacher.
