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 which 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. Paul Drayton is a published composer, conductor, and teacher, whose choral works have been performed by many groups, including the King's Singers. He is also co-author, with Pauline Hall, of two Piano Time volumes,
