Hi  Jeanie and Stephanie, Thank you so much really, very informative
and got to learn so much. I am already a member of RNIB but I didn't
know that they are having Piano Time Series, I have the AB guide to
music theory in practice by Erric taylor. I use them a lot, but, I
have to thought if everything is put into One book according to
levels, then it will be easier to carry them to School where I teach.
i'll try to get Piano adventure series, I might also look for Piano
time series in RNIB. Thank you so much I appreciate it.

Ruby.
