The ADULT PIANO STUDENT provides the older beginner student with materials that will satisfy his/her musical needs while developing a pianistic technic. Book 1, from the beginning presents the fundamentals of music through the use of melodies in major keys harmonized with accompanying chords. For the older beginner who has had some previous keyboard training, the first book will probably be a refresher. For the beginner who has had no previous training, this first book moves slowly so that he/she will develop a sound keyboard technic before advancing into Book II. This method is for both individual and group instruction with some materials arranged for ensemble practice.

The Theory Books of the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY are written in "programed instruction" style, one of the most effective means of learning in modern education. Programed instruction is based on three generally accepted principles: 1. The material is presented in small steps called "frames." 2. The student makes an immediate written response to each frame so that his learning is constantly checked. 3. The student knows if his answer is correct. The Theory Books are written for the Preparatory Age piano student. However, the fundamentals of music are presented in a logical order making the books useful for any beginner. The Theory books are correlated to the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY, but can be used with any course on music of this level of advancement.

PEDAL PLAY is a collection of (101) short technic etudes designed to prepare the organist in proficiency at the pedal keyboard.

David Carr Glover has selected, arranged, and correlated these well-known hymns. They represent part of our heritage of sacred music. Students enjoy playing familiar melodies, and this book provides them with such material. Like the REPERTOIRE Books of this library, this book will also stimulate interest and enjoyment in playing. Chord symbols have been included in all hymn arrangements. This will enable the student to use this book as a keyboard harmony aide.

My First Music Book introduces some of the most basic elements of music. This book includes illustrations to color.
