Best Early Learning Piano Books

Many parents ask when their child can start piano lessons. At Atlanta Music Education, we have had students start with us even before they walk in our Pre-K sing alongs. With private lessons, we have had students start as young as 3.

In our early learning lessons, we use a combination of piano time, singing, movement, percussion and sometimes even ukulele to introudce them to all the fun music there is.

The Faber books offer a fun, colorful series for our early learners that utilize numbers and patterns to help introduce students to the piano. We require each student at this level to purchase both the lesson book which holds the songs, and the writing book which has coloring, composing, worksheets and even composer studies.

Brand new students will start with just the Level A Books. Below, you’ll also find sticker packets and notebooks that match that you’re welcome to add too!
