Wonderful Resource!
I’ve been using this with my private piano studio students. I printed the appropriate level for each student and had them put it in the scales section of their piano binder. I’ve been offering small incentives with the program. The students are progressing well and I love the way it is so easy for them to use in the their at home practice. Thanks so much for this wonderful resource!
