Media Reviews

'...it is clear that I am excited by Get Set! Piano and plan to use it with all younger beginners who come to me from now on. This of course means that in a year or so I should hopefully be able to come back with a follow-up article, and let you all know how it goes! Hopefully my enthusiasm will be undiminished of course!

But don't wait - go ahead and order up a set of these tremendous books, and check out all the great resources on the Get Set! Piano website - you really won't regret it!'
