Gisele Full Member Registered: 06/08/09 Posts: 128 Loc: Schenectady, Saratoga Counties...	Which series would you suggest I use for a 16 year old girl? She has never played the piano. She's too old to use the children series but would you use an adult series with her? _________________________ Gisele Sum, gsum82-piano@hotmail.com Piano and Theory Teacher Principal Church Organist and/or Choir Accompaniment

Faber Accelerated is good, too. _________________________ "If we continually try to force a child to do what he is afraid to do, he will become more timid, and will use his brains and energy, not to explore the unknown, but to find ways to avoid the pressures we put on him."
