Compact Disc Recordings by Diane Hidy accompany each level and closely follow the editions as a practical performance example for students. a correlated series of theory and teacher’s answer books (Fundamentals of Piano Theory) and technique (Scale Skills) ensures a well-balanced and complete curriculum for all students.
