Now that I found your channel, I will have a lot of fun in playing piano. I am a restarter after 30 years....and I fall down from intermediate to almost beginner level. And your tips helped me a lot. I love Burgmüller studies! Now I know for which grade they are good for and what technique they improve.🎉

Excellent thanks, one of the best I have seen. I am a 74 yr old, I’ve passed grade 5 practical and theory. Trouble is I’m finding the grade 6 work a bit tough at the minute. These intermediate book ideas are just what I need

Hi. I am an early intermediate Piano player. I am very happy to have met you. Your guidance is very precious for me. Piano teachers generally focus on beginners. I learned a lot from you concerning the materials. I am at a level where I know what I dont know. Thanks again. I am a self learning person. I have the method books Alfreds and Adventure. Those videos are very interesting and beneficial too.

Thanks. Every else seems to just focus on beginner books, early method books or childish pieces.
Nice to see videos like this. Well done

Such a great selection of suggestions, I'll definitely be looking up a lot of these books in the future to expand my options! Thank you!

A good selection of books. I need to avoid the temptation to buy them all. While many of the classical pieces can be found in the public domain, they are quite often in small print. The books are often easier to read.
A couple more books to suggests: Jazz, Rags, and Blues by Martha Mier. These pieces are really enjoyable to play (for me anyway) and often appear in the ABRSM exams. Book 2 is about Grade 3. Another one is the ABRSM Core Classics - I am on the Grade 3-4 book.
One to avoid is the ABRSM Pop Performer Book. The arrangements are awful. Neither my piano teacher or I liked it.
It is really hard to get nice arrangements of pop songs. I have loads of pop / rock songbooks. Some don't have melody the in the RH, which fine if you can sing (which I can't), others try to squeeze too many parts from the original song into the music and can be impossible to play as written.

I'm hoping to be a beginner level soon. But I'm playing Moulin de Ville and the C Major Prélude. But I've transposed the Bach and numbers 1, 2 and 4 into Thoroughbass and play them in all keys. Actually, up to 3 sharps and flats to start.

Faber has Advancetime which seems to be more difficult than BigTime. Will definitely check out the Chester piano graded books.

Great video. How would you know you are at a certain grade? Or finish a grade and start another?
