About This Collection
Description
John W. Schaum's piano materials have shaped beginner and early intermediate pianists for generations. Start with the foundational curriculum books like the Pre-A Green Book and the sequential Red, Blue, Purple, and Orange Books, which move students through grades 1 through 2½ with carefully graded repertoire and technique. Pair the core method books with the Note Speller and Theory Lessons series to reinforce music literacy. The collection also includes masterwork arrangements of Bach, Hanon, Burgmüller, and Czerny, plus sacred and secular pieces that give students beautiful material to learn from the composers who shaped classical piano technique.
Highlights
Teachers consistently return to Note Speller, Book 1 and the John W. Schaum Piano Course, Pre-A: The Green Book as essential early-stage materials. The sequential color-coded books (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange) form the spine of many piano studios, with the Grade 1 Red Book and Grade 1½ Blue Book among the most widely adopted. Theory Lessons, Book 1 pairs naturally with the method books to deepen note-reading and music fundamentals.
Composer & Author Spotlight
John W. Schaum crafted a method series that prioritizes logical progression and student engagement from the very first lesson. His Note Speller and Theory Lessons books became standards because they isolate skills without overwhelming young pianists, making them reliable cornerstones for early elementary instruction.
Wesley Schaum extended the family legacy by arranging popular piano pieces that fit seamlessly into the method curriculum. His work on the Popular Piano Pieces series keeps the Schaum approach alive for teachers who value consistency across method and repertoire.
The collection includes masterwork arrangements of Bach, Hanon, Burgmüller, and Czerny adapted by Schaum for intermediate students. These editions open the door to classical technique and composition without removing students from the pedagogical sequence they know.
