More about this title

About the Author: Willard A. Palmer

Willard A. Palmer

Willard A. Palmer built his reputation across multiple instruments and pedagogical contexts. A prolific composer with nearly 800 published works, he studied at the Conservatory of Leipzig on scholarship and later taught accordion at the University of Houston for 18 years, becoming the first instructor to establish a successful college-level accordion program. His early training in piano technique under Mae Vardeman shaped his approach to instrument fundamentals and improvisation.

Palmer's scholarly work in Baroque music and ornamentation earned him international recognition and served as the foundation for Alfred's acclaimed Masterworks series. He held leadership roles in the Riemenschneider Bach Institute and maintained membership in the American Federation of Musicians and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. His contributions to music education spanned accordion methods, organ methods, guitar instruction, and numerous piano publications translated into multiple languages.

Why we love this

This all-in-one course gives adults a complete learning system without requiring separate theory books or technique supplements. The inclusion of theory and technique within the lesson structure keeps students moving forward without interruption, and the accompanying CD provides immediate listening models for the pieces they're learning.

What to expect

Organized and purposeful. Each lesson builds logically, with theory supporting what you play, technique preparing your hands, and pieces that feel rewarding to learn. The integrated CD brings the music to life without requiring a separate accompanist or technology.

Who it's for

Adult students beginning piano for the first time or returning to it after years away. Learners who need a structured, self-contained approach that covers reading, technique, theory, and repertoire in one book.

How to get the most out of it

  • Use the CD recordings as a learning tool: listen to pieces before playing them to internalize phrasing and tempo, then play along as you develop confidence
  • Work through the theory section exercises before moving to the next lesson's pieces; understanding the concepts on the page strengthens your performance at the keyboard
  • Apply the technique exercises consistently rather than skipping ahead; they prepare your hands for the musical demands of each new piece
  • Review earlier lessons periodically to reinforce fundamentals and build the muscle memory that supports faster progress

How to use it

This book works best as the core text for an adult piano lesson sequence, whether in private studio or group class settings. The Spanish language edition opens access to Spanish-speaking adult learners who may hesitate with English-language instruction, making it ideal for inclusive community music programs or private instruction serving diverse populations.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading treble clef notation and basic rhythmic notation
  • Proper hand position and posture at the keyboard
  • Music theory fundamentals including notes, intervals, major and minor scales, and chord construction
  • Sight-reading accuracy across both hands
  • Finger independence and coordination through progressive technique exercises
  • Musical interpretation and tempo control through guided repertoire
