With these new editions, OUP Music have given this evergreen resource a fresh contemporary look and feel. The audio files, occasional new pieces, and tweaks to the pedagogic details are all welcome, but it is the redesigned visuals that will likely prove the most striking change to long-term users. * Andrew Eales, Pianodao, August 2025 *

Pauline Hall graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and then taught in schools and privately. Whilst living and teaching in Harrogate she felt the need for a piano tutor that made learning fun, and which progressed at the pace of her slowest learner. She started by writing little tunes in pupils' notebooks, and these formed the basis of Tunes for Ten Fingers; the Piano Time series developed from this.
