The Basic Piano Course, French edition, is an easy step-by-step method that emphasizes correct playing habits and note reading through interval recognition. For reinforcement, supplementary material is carefully coordinated, page for page, at each level of instruction.  Level 1A begins with pre-reading tunes on the black keys, moves to reading from either the treble or bass staves, and progresses to playing from the grand staff in C and G Major positions. General MIDI disks and compact discs are available at each level and include full piano recordings and background accompaniments.
