I enjoy teaching from the Piano Adventures Faber & Faber books for a majority of my students. They offer a free compendium app for iPhones & iPads.
To all my students that are using Piano Adventures books and have iPhones or iPads, please download this app and let me know how you like it. I think you will find it very useful.Love, Amy
