The A-G Piano Book Series was created by James Atin-Godden who had been teaching piano lessons for many years. Throughout that time, he grew to be disappointed with the current method books. He found them to be dated and not engaging for his piano students. He decided for fun to make a small book with 20 or so pieces with cool art that would appeal to his students. His students loved them.
One day, a few years later, James made a Tiktok about the book, and found a giant chorus of teachers seeking copies. He decided that he quickly needed to expand the book into a series to meet this demand. Over the course of 2020 he wrote and sequenced hundreds of pieces and worksheets, with the help of his partner Aniqa Qadir. He hired Meredith Wolting, brilliant artist and set designer, to design them and do the art. Hundreds of hours later, the books were done and out on Amazon. Now they’re used by teachers and students worldwide!
