Any book recommendations for a beginner? (PA)

Grannykins, I started with the Ivor Benyon too, but didn't like it at all - I wasn't too keen on his choice of tunes, and stopped using the book altogether when I got to his version of Brahms' lullaby which was in an unnecessary key (G maj, I think, much harder fingering than the version in F which I'd played on the piano; and not as pretty).

Thats where I've stopped with it too

Found the earlier bits useful though.

You may want to give this a try: Duane Dchnurs Music Page.

Scroll down to about middle of the page, then click on the lesson buttons to download.

Hi Pentaprism,
That is a great resource. I'm going to enjoy working through his material.

Duane Schnur... Uses the Sedlon method music. Older American version but broadly the same as UK print later stuff. Great resource.
