Prehistoric Piano Time

Pauline Hall graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and then taught in schools and privately. Whilst living and teaching in Harrogate she felt the need for a piano tutor which made learning fun, and which progressed at the pace of her slowest learner. She started by writing little tunes in pupils' notebooks, and these formed the basis of Tunes for Ten Fingers; the Piano Time series developed from this.

Guaranteed to capture the imagination of any youngster . . . All the material has a solid musical and tutorial basis as well as being great fun. A splendid book and highly recommended.
