ABRSM keyboard anthologies, duet books and historical collections

Start with the kind of music you need. If you want solo repertoire, look first at A Keyboard Anthology, Selected Keyboard Works or Selected Keyboard Sonatas. If you want duet or ensemble material, start with Keyboards Together.

If you are buying for a specific exam list, confirm the exact title first in Syllabus Finder.

A Keyboard Anthology gives you graded historical keyboard repertoire in curated books across the first, second and third series. Selected Keyboard Works and Selected Keyboard Sonatas are more composer- or collection-led, so they are useful when you need a more specific repertoire source.

Most customers looking for solo keyboard repertoire start with one of the A Keyboard Anthology books, then add titles such as Selected Keyboard Works, Selected Keyboard Sonatas, Keyboard Dances or Eight Keyboard Pieces depending on the music they want to study.

If you want something more collaborative, Keyboards Together 1 is also a practical early-stage option.

Often, yes. Many customers use these books as broader historical keyboard repertoire sources, but if you are buying for a specific instrument or exam route you should still confirm the exact requirement first in Syllabus Finder.
