Books
Three books. One complete system.
Each book is a self-contained level — built around the same reading-first, brain-based approach. Together they take a student from their very first lesson through confident, independent sight-reading.
Treblemakers Piano Method Book 1
Builds strong note readers from the very first lesson. Pattern-based original compositions make the learning feel easy — while quietly doing serious work.
Getting Started
Leads teacher and student through the first lesson, introducing the piano and note-reading in a clear, simple way.
C, D, E Songs
Ten original songs with lyrics to master reading C, D, and E — the first three notes students learn.
C, B, A Songs
Eight original songs with lyrics to master reading C, B, and A — building left-hand note reading from the start.
Five-Finger Originals
Nine original songs to master combining C, D, E in the right hand with C, B, A in the left. Gradually adds F and G in both hands.
Five-Finger Classics
Eight favorite children’s songs to strengthen reading across the full Middle C position (F below to G above middle C).
Chord Outline Songs
Introduces two simplified left-hand chord shapes alongside right-hand reading, easing the coordination challenge of playing hands together.
Parallel Motion Songs
Adds D and E below middle C in bass clef. Builds hands-together coordination and trains students to see parallel motion patterns.
Chord Pattern Songs
Builds additional coordination, drills reading, and trains students to identify chord-based patterns — a foundation for all future reading.
Rhythms
An easy, buildable approach to understanding and adding rhythm — designed to grow with the student as rhythm gets more complex.
Treblemakers Piano Method Book 1 Duets
A duet accompaniment for every piece in Book 1. Teachers, parents, or more advanced students play along — turning practice into an ensemble experience from lesson one.
Designed to pair with Book 1
Every song in Book 1 has a matching duet part here. While the student reads their notes at the piano, the teacher or parent plays a lush, musical accompaniment alongside them — in a variety of styles. Play-along audio recordings are also available free on the site.
- Duet accompaniments for every song in Book 1 — from the very first C, D, E pieces through the Chord Pattern Songs
- Accompaniments written in a variety of styles — classical, pop, jazz, folk — making each song feel fresh and musical
- Designed so the student’s part stays exactly as written in Book 1 — nothing to relearn, just play together
- Builds the student’s sense of ensemble playing, pulse, and musicality from the very first lesson
- Ideal for teachers who want lessons to feel like real music-making from day one
Treblemakers Piano Method Book 2
As music gets more complex, the ability to recognize patterns — chords, scales, intervals — is what separates fluent readers from struggling ones. Book 2 builds exactly that.
Anchor C Songs
Pieces built around the six C’s in the middle of the piano. Learning these anchors lets students figure out all other notes from a known position — and builds range across the entire keyboard.
Interval Songs
Expressive pieces that introduce intervals and train students to recognize interval shapes on the page — while adding dynamics and phrasing to build real musicality.
Scale Songs
Melodic pieces using scale-based runs, with continued attention to dynamics and phrasing. Students begin to see scales not as drills but as the foundation of melody.
Arpeggio Songs
Flashy, satisfying pieces that teach recognition of chord shapes while building dexterity, technique, and the ability to move effortlessly around the keys — all with continued focus on musicality.
