Faber Piano Adventures – Accelerated Piano Adventures Book 1 Set

Accelerated Piano Adventures – Level 1

The Accelerated Piano Adventures Level 1 series by Faber Piano Adventures is designed for the older beginner, offering a comprehensive approach to learning piano through four coordinated books — Lesson, Theory, Technique & Artistry, and Sightreading. This set integrates reading, rhythm, technique, and creative expression using Faber’s innovative ACE philosophy (Analyze, Create, Express) that promotes musical understanding beyond notes and keys.

Each book complements the others to build a balanced skill set. Students explore classic repertoire, develop sightreading fluency, strengthen technique, and reinforce theory concepts in a logical, motivating progression. This level is ideal for late beginners or adults starting their piano journey.
