Book Reviews

This is what other music teachers have to say about Susan’s books …

These books are the best thing to add to our studio in over 10 years!

Teacher, Social Media

An incredibly fun book. I have about 15 students in this book. They all love it

Teacher, Social Media

All of my 30 students LOVE these books and always ask if there are more! We’ve completed almost every one that is published

Teacher, Social Media

I am doing the pizza book with an 8 year old who is loving it so much that she hugged me. Also doing ‘The Time Thief’ with 11 year old twins who are enjoying the change from method/exam books

Teacher, Social Media

I have 3 new classes starting Monday – we have ordered 36 books this week. Please keep these coming!!! We love them!!!

Teacher, Social Media

I can’t keep up with all your creations! My studio is primarily young (BAG Files was perfect for us), and you’re pumping out so many great additions! My students are so excited to do more of these!

Teacher, Social Media

I just ordered all of your books over the last two weeks. They are wonderful!! So fun!

Teacher, Social Media

I had a student come to lessons tonight. Part of her assignment for last week was part of a chapter of Who Ate My Cupcake. She and her grandmother completed four chapters in two weeks because they could not stop. They were having so much fun (grandma is a musician with me at our church). Thank you again for making teaching piano so much fun 

Teacher, Social Media

I’m excited to use your mystery books for camp this summer!! I just received my order and they are BEAUTIFUL! What a great balance of story telling, well written songs, and theory concepts!

Teacher, Social Media

Just got mine in the mail and now I already want a sequel!!

Teacher, Social Media

Been buying them like crazy. My students love this book. Great summer activity book. Thank you for keeping kids engaged with music

Teacher, Social Media

I’ve been using Susan’s books with my students as a ‘summer program’ – such a fun and engaging way to keep students learning during the summer months! Will definitely order this one 

Teacher, Social Media

Another loved piano adventure. My students love Susan Leigh adventures

Teacher, Social Media

You gotta stop. I’m going broke lol

Teacher, Social Media

Awesome! I just ordered copies for myself. I’ve never taught them before and hope to this summer! My students will love them

Teacher, Social Media

My students have been loving this! We have been working on it during their summer lessons, it’s so funny to watch sibling sets hide their work from each other so they don’t spoil the fun!

Teacher, Social Media

Got a copy and love it!!!! Such a fun addition to teaching

Teacher, Social Media

I am using both of them during the summer with my students. I’m so excited!

Teacher, Social Media

I lOVE your books!!! More please!

Teacher, Social Media

Our students are LOVING this book! We need more of these!!

Teacher, Social Media

One of my students is the first of mine to reach the last chapter. She is so excited to see if she solves the mystery. Love the anticipation!

Teacher, Social Media

Also her other book the Bag Mystery – great fun and good sight reading level pieces that are achievable in a lesson. Challenges we dip into with mini M&Ms as prizes for a correct answer – incorrect answer gives the teacher the m&m!!

Teacher, Social Media

Loving the pieces in ‘Who Stole My Dragon’, great harmonies, such a pleasure to play

Teacher, Social Media

I used the pizza one for a Detective group class and it was a huge hit! Once we solved the case, students got a piece of pizza for their ride home

Teacher, Social Media

I’ve been using this book this summer and all my students absolutely love it (UK). Puzzles are fun and the pieces sound great. The right level of challenge as well. Highly recommend! 

Teacher, Social Media

They have all LOVED the books and one pupil rated the ‘Piano Detective’ group holiday club “a billion squillion out of 10!”, that was the Broccoli mystery. So thank you for creating these books!

Teacher, Social Media

Gosh, these look (and sound) so good (there’s only so many years a teacher can take of Pianotime and Ten fingers) I’m really keen to try!

Teacher, Social Media

I love these books. I save them for Piano Camps, so my students can still enjoy music in summer but with a different mode. Some of my students beg for more!!!!!!! Thank you for supplying this resource for music teachers.

Teacher, Social Media

We have been using these books at our studio for group classes for more than a year now. These are BY FAR the kids favorite books. This year we started using them in private lessons. I’ve been teaching piano almost 38 years – my beginner students have never enjoyed lessons like they do with these books. I hope more people try them so Susan keeps creating more! These books work GREAT for group lessons!! If you visit Susan’s website, you can see exactly what is covered in each book. I’ve had families leave other teachers to come to our studio because they heard how much other kids were enjoying these books. Highly recommend!!!

Teacher, Social Media

My students love this mystery. Susan Leigh makes learning piano so much fun. Her mysteries definitely are a highlight during weekly lessons.

Teacher, Social Media

My student is loving The Time Thief! Planning to try some of the others with more students in September

Teacher, Social Media

My students are having so much fun with Who Stole My Pizza. What a great way to have fun in piano lessons

Teacher, Social Media

This is awesome!!

Teacher, Social Media

I’ve been using one of your other books ‘The BAG Files’ with a student I’ve been finding challenging. It has been truly amazing and she is making great progress. Thank you so much 

Teacher, Social Media

HOW FUN!! I would love to see more books like this!

Teacher, Social Media

I have bought many of these in the past few months. My students love it. It got them practicing again. Many thanks to you, Susan Leigh, for creating such a fun and educational tool

Teacher, Social Media

I just want to come here to say all of my young students love this book!

Teacher, Social Media

I start next week with 2 other books she has for Piano Camps. Mozart’s Mice and The ‘Bag’ Files. Both look great!!!!! 

Teacher, Social Media

I got a copy of this. It’s really cute!

Teacher, Social Media

This is a really fun book. It re-energized many of my students this summer. 

Teacher, Social Media

I started a couple of my students on this book and it really helped them become extra excited and attentive during summer lessons!

Teacher, Social Media

My students love this book. It has helped tremendously in getting them reengaged in good practice habits. Susan Leigh has been a huge help in adding fun to my studio lessons

Teacher, Social Media

I’m planning to use it in my piano camp! We’ll complete two lessons each day. Then, I’m having pizza delivered at the end of the last day
