The Piano Trainer series has been developed with the aim of helping students progress through the stages of learning the piano and become well-rounded musicians. Developed by leading educationalists Karen Marshall, David Blackwell, Heather Hammond and Mark Tanner, the series incorporates a holistic approach to learning by bringing together musicianship, theory, repertoire, music history, studies, exercises, and technique. The Piano Trainer series spans port-beginner level all the way through to post-grade 8.
