Bastien, James

James Bastien (1934-2005), pianist and piano pedagogue. Together with his wife Jane Smisor, they formed the piano duo Smisor and Bastien in 1960. They both began writing music based on the needs of their students, which marked the beginning of the Bastien method of piano, which has inspired so many students and teachers.

The books have been published around the world and translated into 14 languages. During his long career, James Bastien was internationally recognized through his contributions to piano teaching, composition and performance. In 1999, the Music Teachers National Association awarded the Bastiens the association’s highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition of their career in music and their contribution to the profession.

Bastien’s Basic Piano system is based on a series of engaging and progressive lessons aimed at giving the student a good starting point in their piano learning. The sequence of lessons is carefully graded to ensure continuous progress in studies. The full-color illustrations help entertain the young student and reinforce their learning at all times. The song selection includes original works, familiar folk songs, and popular styles arranged in creative and pleasing ways.
