Learning to Play Instructional Series Book I: Piano Technique is a piano instruction collection by Various composers, edited by Melvin Stecher and Norman Horowitz, the best-selling authors of Keyboard Strategies. Created for piano study and lesson use, this instructional collection presents one new musical concept per page alongside a corresponding song that applies the idea in context, helping connect technical work with practical musical playing throughout the collection.

The book includes standard music notation for piano as well as teacher-student duet material designed to introduce ensemble playing into regular practice and lesson settings. Each unit begins with a review of previously introduced concepts, reinforcing continuity from lesson to lesson while supporting familiarity with reading, rhythm, coordination, and keyboard movement. The combination of concise concept presentation and playable musical examples creates a focused format that remains easy to revisit during lessons, home practice, or independent review.

Teacher and student duets add a collaborative dimension that can make practice sessions more interactive and musically rewarding. These ensemble selections provide opportunities to explore timing, listening, and musical balance while allowing players to experience fuller textures at the keyboard. The progressive organization of the material also supports long-term retention by connecting new techniques with familiar musical ideas rather than presenting isolated exercises without context.

This collection offers a practical approach for piano study, private instruction, studio teaching, and supplemental repertoire development. The concise page layout allows individual concepts to remain visually clear and manageable during practice sessions, while the accompanying songs provide immediate musical application that keeps technical work connected to expressive playing.
