Can anyone recommend a music textbook that uses themes from classical music? I have one child starting piano, another the recorder, and I don't know much about the available curricula. I just remember that when I learned to play the piano, most of the lessons were based around silly little ditties, which I disliked intensely. Is there an instruction text that can teach either instrument using really good music?

CHC has Hymns for the Young Pianist

It is not a textbook per se, but it is a good book for the young learner.

We also use the Bastien Beginning piano primer. It does have some of the mindless ditties in it, but it also has some classic tunes and even a version of the Surprise Symphony that is easy to play.
