I Used to Play Piano: Refresher Course: Piano Comb Bound Book & CD

Reconnecting with familiar musical territory while discovering new sounds. The range from classical to jazz, boogie, and ragtime keeps fingers engaged and ears interested, making the rebuilding process feel like rediscovery rather than remedial work.

Adult pianists returning to the instrument after months or years away. This method is designed specifically for people who once played and want to rebuild confidence and facility without starting over with beginner material.

• Use the included CD to hear how each piece should sound before attempting it. This reference prevents building faulty interpretations into muscle memory.
• Start with the unit that matches your current ability rather than the first unit. The strategic review sections mean you won't miss foundational skills.
• Practice one complete unit before moving forward. The variety within each unit keeps practice engaging while building consistent progress.

Use this as a self-directed home study resource during the off-season or between lessons with a private teacher. The lay-flat comb binding and included recordings make it ideal for independent work, allowing adults to progress at their own pace without requiring regular instruction.
