===Piano===
The piano method is in seven volumes. The first volume begins with Variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (as with the violin books) and continues with many folk songs and contemporary songs. As one progresses to the second volume, there are pieces written by [[classical period (music)|romantic, classical]] and [[baroque music|baroque]] composers, such as Schumann, [[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]] and [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]. There are also many [[minuet]]s in the second book. The third book is early intermediate level with several sonatinas and beginning with Sonatina in C Major, Op. 36, No. 1 by [[Muzio Clementi]]. The fourth book includes [[Piano Sonatas Nos. 19 and 20 (Beethoven)|Sonata in G Major]], Op. 49, No. 2 by Ludwig van Beethoven and ends with three movements from the [[Partitas for keyboard (Bach)|Partita in B-flat]] by J.S. Bach. The fifth book begins with "[[Für Elise]]" by Beethoven and includes the Sonata in C Major, Hob. XVI/35 by Franz Joseph Haydn. The sixth book begins with the [[Piano Sonata No. 16 (Mozart)|Sonata in C Major]] by Mozart, and the seventh book begins with the [[Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart)|Sonata in A Major]] by Mozart. This book also includes "[[The Harmonious Blacksmith]]" by [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]] and the [[Romanian Folk Dances]] by [[Béla Bartók|Bartók]].

The New International Edition adds some more recent compositions to the books, such as the music of Béla Bartók. Revised versions of the piano books have now been published. The new volumes are collections of piano repertoire from all eras representing works by composers such as Mozart, Burgmüller, Beethoven, Bach, Tcherepnin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Daquin, Grieg, Granados, Villa-Lobos, Scarlatti, Handel, Bartók, and Debussy. Many pieces from the original books remain; some have been moved to another volume. Book and CD combinations for the revised volumes 4 to 7 were performed by Japanese concert artist Seizo Azuma.
