Piano Steps: Student Edition is a complete beginner piano method that guides students from their very first key to their first full recital piece. Organized into 12 progressive modules, it moves gradually from note reading and finger numbers through hand independence, dynamics, and more — always one small, achievable step at a time. The book includes more than 90 songs alongside annotated explainer pages, so students and parents always know exactly what to focus on next. Scattered throughout are QR codes linking to short instructional videos that walk through each new concept. Written by Jonathan Holowaty, a piano, guitar, and ukulele teacher with nearly 20 years of experience and a master's degree in music education, Piano Steps grew directly out of years of real private-lesson plans.
