'I have used a variety of beginner books (Bastien primer, PA primer, MFPA, Piano Town primer) but I actually just started my first beginner student in Back To Basics Piano Method Book 1. She is loving it so far! I had so much trouble getting her to engage at the keyboard, but now she's coming in every week and playing Peanut Butter, Butterfly, Hopping, and this week we did Jump Jump Sit and Run Pony. Once she completes that week she gets to color the pictures, which she loves!

Thank you Marlene Moore, for creating these books.'

The Back to Basics Piano Method Curriculum Books took 20 years to write. It took another 10 years to write the Back to Basics companion books that deal with composition, sight reading, practice, rhythms and theory.

There are 23 books all together in this series. Teachers and students find the books to be logical, uncluttered and very interesting.Marlene started off as a school teacher for 5 years. This was followed by several years of performing. Eventually she performed many recitals of her own music.

Marlene has played on cruise ships and has conducted many workshops on Performing Without Fear. She taught piano for 50 years and has trained many new piano teachers. Marlene is also a landscape artist. She is now semi-retired and she divides her time between painting landscapes, composing new music and marketing the Back to Basics Piano Method Curriculum Books.
