About Bastien Piano Library
The Bastien Piano Library is an integrated course of study containing method books, related theory and technic books, and a wide variety of supplementary materials, including Music Flashcards, specifically correlated solo sight reading books, and note speller. The Bastien Piano Library also offers the option of beginning with either a "contemporary" approach (featuring pre-staff notation and first staff reading in G, then C, then middle C) or "traditional" approach (featuring Middle C reading and the C five-finger position).

I have used this book with my piano students for over 30 years now. It is well-organized, self-explanatory, and is well done as far as progressive-ness. I recommend it, as it goes through the Group 3 keys--D, A, and E.
